Helene Grimaud / Konstantin Krimmel - For Clara - Schumann: Kreisleriana Op. 16 & Brahms

Helene Grimaud/Konstantin Krimmel -"For Clara - Schumann: Kreisleriana Op. 16 & Brahms: Lieder Op. 32" - "The most literary of composers" is how Hélène Grimaud defines Robert Schumann, and the extent of that literary engagement can be measured not only in his vast output of songs and choral and operatic works, but also in the subtle way that inspiration from works of literature is threaded through his piano music.
