Brilliance and Tenderness - Symphony Series 2

Overview

Much of Robert Schumann’s music was written for the piano, and his wife Clara was a legendary pianist. In Robert’s concerto you hear the relationship between husband and wife come to life in music of glowing brilliance and tenderness.

Lili Boulanger was the younger sister of legendary composition teacher Nadia. Lili’s death at 24 robbed the world of a beautiful musical spirit; her picture of a spring morning gives you a glimpse into her radiant musical imagination.

If you love Dvořák’s symphony From the New World, you’ll be captivated by the strength and darkly glowing power of his Seventh Symphony. The radiant final bars tell of a hard-fought battle against adversity; truly, this is music for our times.
