For Clara: Works by Schumann & Brahms

Description

Hélène Grimaud is a captivating artist. For many years, the French pianist has charmed the classical world with her sensual and intense playing, as well as her unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her vast musical repertoire includes not only the most famous piano works that allow pianists to showcase their brilliance on stages around the world, but also contemporary pieces, such as those by the Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov.Inspired by the eccentric alter ego of the romantic storyteller E. T. A. Hoffmann, Robert Schumann's Kreisleriana is a work that Hélène Grimaud has known since adolescence and has already recorded. Yet, as she says, "one can spend a lifetime with such a work and always find something new in it." In revisiting it here, she paired it with two pieces by Schumann's protégé, Johannes Brahms, including a set of songs in which Brahms distills his unrequited love for Clara, Schumann's widow. Grimaud is joined on this album by a sensational young baritone, Konstantin Krimmel.
