Clara Schumann

Description

A discovery of Clara Schumann for little ears!
Leipzig, 1825. A crystalline sound fills the grand salon of the Wieck house. Who could be playing this tune at such an early hour? It's Miss Clara, a little woman of five years, sitting in front of the grand piano. She has stacked two large cushions on the stool to reach the keyboard. For the first time, the series of composers pays tribute to a female composer. A poetic, sensitive, romantic, and musical biography. We discover the prodigy, the concert pianist who travels across Europe with her father, the lover and then the wife of Robert, the composer and the teacher… Clara Schumann's work was long forgotten in favor of her husband's, and has only been rediscovered in recent years. Elsa Lepoivre of the Comédie-Française masterfully lends her voice to tell the story of this great artist, accompanied by her most beautiful pieces, played for the occasion by Célia Oneto Bensaid on piano.
