    For Clara: Works by Schumann & Brahms - Hélène Grimaud

    Album Description

    Hélène Grimaud's latest album, For Clara: Works by Schumann & Brahms, is a masterful exploration of the rich universe of German Romanticism. This exquisite collection brings together Robert Schumann's iconic Kreisleriana, Op. 16, with Johannes Brahms' poignant Intermezzi, Op. 117, and Lieder und Gesänge, Op. 32, showcasing the profound influence of Clara Schumann on these two musical giants.

    Grimaud, who has had a lifelong affinity with Schumann's Kreisleriana, having known the work since her teenage years, delivers a deeply personal and nuanced performance. Her interpretation is complemented by the expressive baritone of Konstantin Krimmel, who joins her in Brahms' songs, distilling the composer's unrequited love for Clara Schumann into a powerful and emotional experience.

    The album, released on Deutsche Grammophon, also features Grimaud's stunning performance of Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54, accompanied by the Camerata Salzburg. This extended edition is a testament to Grimaud's dedication to the music of Schumann and Brahms, and her ability to convey the complexity and beauty of their works.

    With For Clara: Works by Schumann & Brahms, Hélène Grimaud invites listeners to immerse themselves in the world of German Romanticism, where the boundaries between music, love, and loss are blurred. This album is a must-listen for fans of classical music, and a poignant tribute to the enduring legacy of Clara Schumann.
