This collection provides a complete accountof Robert Schumann’s works for viola andpiano. Schumann was a real innovator, whowould often explore new instrumentalcombinations, sometimes bringing neglectedor forgotten instruments back into thelimelight. The works on this recording showjust how many different moods thecomposer could evoke using the unusualcombination of viola and piano, from thechangeable nature of the FantasiestückeOp.73 and the array of emotions portrayedin the Märchenbilder Op.113 to the passionof the Adagio and Allegro Op.70 and finallythe intricacies of the MärchenerzählungenOp.132, with a little help from the clarinet.The successful partnership of violist LorenzoFalconi and pianist Sara Bacchini has beendescribed by acclaimed performer, PierNarciso Masi, as ‘a real Duo, in the mostcomplete sense of the word. Their profoundunderstanding of chamber music issupported by considerable talent, sensitivityand personality, and they are greatcommunicators.’ They are joined for therecording by clarinettist Darlo Goracci.
