Robert Schumann: Complete Piano Trios, Quartet & Quintet

Trio Wanderer

Chamber Music - Released April 30, 2021 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions Diapason d'or - Diapason d'or / Arte
Constantly shifting from the most impulsive exuberance to the most restrained meditation, from the most intense passion to the most innocent tenderness, this programme forms a representative panorama of Schumann’s chamber music. Going beyond the Piano Trios, which already give us a fully rounded account of Schumann, the Trio Wanderer have invited their favourite partners to join them for their interpretation of two supreme masterpieces, the Piano Quartet and Piano Quintet. © harmonia mundi

Schumann: Humoreske in B Flat Major Opus 20, Toccata in C Major Opus 7 & Phantasiestücke Opus 12

Paolo Giacometti

Classical - Released December 11, 2001 | Channel Classics

Booklet
(...) Robert Schumann (1810-1856) is unquestionably one of the greatest exponents of 19th-century Romantic piano music. Some of the most important reasons for this judgment lie not only in the breadth and importance of his oeuvre, but also in the unusually personal character of his music, which displays a capricious nature, full of peaks and valleys, emotionally unsparing, ranging from wildest exaltation to deepest depression. So it is with the Humoreske op. 20, whose title, not to be confused with humor in the current nglish sense of the word, refers to the older meaning of humor as emotional state. It is a masterpiece, intended as a supreme example of self-expression, no longer confined to a fixed form, and liberated from any kind of framework. The result is an inexhaustible sequence of emotional fragments. Only now and then does a motive return, in remembrance, as it were, a signpost which is quickly abandoned as suddenly as it appeared when a new path opens into the world of Schumann's emotions. (...)

Schumann: Piano Quartet - Piano Quintet

Isabelle Faust

Chamber Music - Released November 24, 2023 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions Diapason d'or
Violinist Isabelle Faust and fortepianist Alexander Melnikov have been accumulating a catalog of distinctive historical performances of Schumann. Here, they turn to the composer's most famous chamber works, the Piano Quartet in E flat major, Op. 47, and Piano Quintet in E flat major, Op. 44, bringing on board violist Antoine Tamestit, cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras, and violinist Anne Katharina Schreiber in the Piano Quintet. Despite the common key and the fact that the two works were written just a few weeks apart, they're quite different, and one strength of these performances is that the players catch the difference. The Piano Quartet is quiet and inward, with Faust's "Sleeping Beauty" Stradivarius purring in the opening Sostenuto assai passage. The slow movement of this work gets a performance of rare lyricism here. The Piano Quintet looks forward to a more public, orchestral kind of chamber music, and the players succeed in transforming the entire sound environment of the music, aided immeasurably by Harmonia's engineers. The music was recorded at the small hall of the German federal youth music academy in Trossingen, and this is a superb space for the music. Of interest far beyond historical performance circles, these are wonderful performances of Schumann's major chamber works.© James Manheim /TiVo

For Clara: Works by Schumann & Brahms

Hélène Grimaud

Classical - Released September 8, 2023 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)

Hi-Res Booklet
Robert Schumann was never more purely Romantic than in his set of piano pieces Kreisleriana, Op. 16. The set is of extramusical, literary inspiration, taking its name from a character in stories by E.T.A. Hoffmann, and it features the explosive imagination of the young Schumann at its best. Schumann announced the work, which he apparently wrote in four days, rather breathlessly to his inamorata, Clara, and more than almost any other work of his, it seems to spill over the boundaries of the short piano piece. Hélène Grimaud has recorded the work before, but she seems to have added intensity this time around. She is nervously excited in the faster virtuosic numbers, but sample No. 4 to hear her marvelous control over the tonal instability that appears in many of these pieces. The Brahms Intermezzi, Op. 117, were also "For Clara," sent to Clara Schumann toward the end of his life; the two had remained friends, and here, in Grimaud's evocation of tempestuous old-school pianism, one is stirred to wonder what Clara sounded like playing this music. The connection of the nine Lieder und Gesänge, Op. 32, of Brahms to Clara is less clear, and the set, with baritone Konstantin Krimmel on the vocals, may seem like an afterthought; the three performances on the album were all made at different places and times. However, taken on its own terms, it is a fine performance of this set, consisting entirely of settings of texts by Eastern poets. Krimmel catches the rather mystical nature of the songs, and Grimaud, with whom he has worked in the past, is effective as an accompanist. This is an important entry in Grimaud's catalog, with a Kreisleriana that is as fine as any.© James Manheim /TiVo

Schumann & Brahms

Benjamin Grosvenor

Classical - Released March 17, 2023 | Decca Music Group Ltd.

Hi-Res Distinctions Diapason d'or - 4F de Télérama
After two glorious albums devoted to Chopin and Liszt, Benjamin Grosvenor continues his exploration of the Romantic period by tackling the third leading faction of the genre, Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms (who was a close friend of both the Schumann’s). The Kreisleriana, like many of Schumann’s other cycles, are a virtuosic reflection on his artistic 'doubles'; Eusebius, the melancholic dreamer, and Florestan, the feverish and passionate rake. The Three Romances Op.28 expresses Schumann's eternal and unconditional love for Clara, who saw in these pieces "the most beautiful love dialogues". In the last movement of the Sonata No. 3 Op.14, Schumann makes an elegant reference to his own Kreisleriana. Clara Wieck's Variations on a Theme of Schumann later inspired Brahms to write his own variations on the same theme. There are similarities in character to his Intermezzi at the end of the album. With his singular and unmistakable touch, Benjamin Grosvenor delivers an interpretation of unadulterated purity, with a simple and luminous audio recording that gives these great passages their deserved nobility. © Pierre Lamy/Qobuz

Beethoven, Schumann, Franck

Renaud Capuçon

Classical - Released November 18, 2022 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)

Hi-Res Booklet
French violinist Renaud Capuçon launched a new long-term partnership with the famous German label Deutsche Grammophon in 2022, which is intended to ‘present classical music in an innovative way’. For this first release on DGG, the violinist reunites once more with pianist Martha Argerich. This isn’t new repertoire for the pianist, who continues to explore the pieces she knows by heart (her expertise in this repertoire has long been illustrated, alongside musicians such as Ivry Gitlis, Gidon Kremer, Itzhak Perlman, etc.). There’s nothing new here for Renaud Capuçon either—he’s already tackled the Schumann sonata with Argerich (Warner Classics, Lugano, 2011), officially recorded the Franck sonata with Khatia Buniatishvili (Erato) and the "Kreutzer" sonata with Frank Braley. However, these performances, recorded at the Easter Festival in Aix-en-Provence in April 2022, will be warmly received. How can anyone refuse the opportunity to listen to two artists who bounce off each other so well, both musically and as friends? © Pierre-Yves Lascar/Qobuz
