Brahms Schumann

Description

De Brahms to Dietrich, violinist Fanny Robilliard and pianist Paloma Kouider summon, for this record, the ghosts of the Schumann's destiny. The program navigates through the F-A-E Sonata or Brahms' second sonata, the works that marked their existence. Among these, the presence of Clara Schumann, a virtuoso musician and privileged creator, emerges in the background. Linked by the key of A, that of Clara, the works of Schumann and Brahms both carry within them the silent presence of the dearly loved being, each unfolding a facet of this passion. Thus, in the melancholic sway of Schumann's first sonata for violin, then sinking, responds the radiant lyricism of Brahms' sonata, composed nearly 35 years later. In this intertwining of links and shadows, Fanny Robilliard and Paloma Kouider place Clara at the center of this program, without reducing her to the sole role of muse, reminding us of the impressive creative force of the composer. This is evidenced by her Three Romances that invigorate this intimate and poetic musical journey: one of the last works from one of the stars of the century.
