Robert & Clara Schumann: Solitude

Niek Baar, Ben Kim

The album Solitude features music of Robert Schumann and Clara Schumann. Dutch violinist Niek Baar and American pianist Ben Kim tell us: "Robert Schumann brought us together as duo partners and as friends. His writing, obsessively swinging between fiery turmoil and tender longing, gave us a common language to communicate with one another". On this recording, Robert Schumann's Violin Sonatas Nos. 2 & 3 are paired with Clara Schumann's 3 Romances, Op. 22. Listening to her romances, we note that Clara quotes Robert's Violin Sonata No. 1. This romantic gesture underlines the artistic bond between Clara and Robert Schumann.

Schumann, Clara: Romances (3), Op. 22
Schumann: Violin Sonata No. 2 in D minor, Op. 121
Schumann: Violin Sonata No. 3 in A minor, WoO 27
