Schumann, Clara: Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 7
Schumann: Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54
Beatrice Rana, partnered by the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin, performs the piano concertos of Robert Schumann and Clara Wieck-Schumann. She complements them with Liszt’s transcription for solo piano of Robert’s song ‘Widmung’, an exuberant dedication of love, composed in the year of Robert and Clara’s marriage. The previous year (1839), Robert had written to Clara: “You complete me as a composer, as I do you. Every thought of yours comes from mysoul, just as I have to thank you for all my music.”
"Her rubato matches the youthful daring of the composer, and her power in the bravura passages reminds us of the prowess that made Clara one of the century’s great virtuosos...if you pass up Rana’s performance – buoyed by exemplary support from Yannick NézetSéguin, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and the unfortunately unnamed solo cellist – you’re missing something special." - Gramophone Magazine, March 2023
