Jessica Duchess: « Born Clara Wieck in 1819, she was famous across Europe as a child prodigy and grew up to be one of the most important pianists of her era, as well as the wife of Robert Schumann. Less familiar, though, is her own music: a startlingly large number of compositions, only a few of which are widely known. In her album Romance, the pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason is on a mission to change all that.
"I'd always been interested in Clara Schumann and the fact that her music was rarely played", says Kanneh-Mason. "One thing that attracts me is that she was a very strong woman and had eight children, and I come from a family of seven!" Isata and her six siblings are all musicians. "It's fascinating that 200 years ago Clara could maintain such a long career as a pianist while having a large family and coping with the difficulties of her husband's mental illness", she continues. "Her strength across her long life impressed, inspired and hugely intrigued me. Her music reminds me of Chopin and Mendelssohn, but at the same time she has a strong compositional voice that sounds like no one else. You can tell from it what a romantic person she was, but also how strong she was. These are two defining strands to her character."
Clara Schumann composed her Piano Concerto at the age of only 13. She gave the premiere in the Leipzig Gewandhaus aged 16, conducted by Mendelssohn. It incorporates surprisingly original touches, including a cello solo in the slow movement (perhaps it served as an example for her friend Brahms in his own Piano Concerto No.2). "The piano writing is fiendishly difficult," says Kanneh-Mason. "One can see what a virtuoso she must have been - it's full of enormous leaps and crazy octave passages! It seems a very mature piece, and sometimes I can't believe how young she was when she wrote it, though the orchestration is not terribly complex, which perhaps betrays her youth." Scherzo no. 2 in C minor, written in 1845, is one of the first pieces by Clara Schumann that Isata Kanneh-Mason discovered: "l was drawn to how fiery it is - I knew I would get along well with it!"
Ultimately, Kanneh-Mason hopes that Clara Schumann's music is here to stay. "I'd like to play the concerto and solo pieces for many more years", she says. "And I don't think this is a project just for her bicentenary. I would like to see her music become an established part of the concert repertoire." Is she truly a lost genius? "She's not lost", suggests Kanneh-Mason. "But I think she needed to be rediscovered." »

[@danielezekiel97]

what a pleasure to listen to , !

[@danielezekiel97]

My heart was pumping so fast with emotion listening. and was feeling choked up, especially the second movement , usually it's the last movement people remember .

[@notaire2]

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieses romantischen und fein komponierten Konzerts mit klar artikuliertem doch anmutigem Klang des technisch fehlerlosen Soloklaviers sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch beweglich. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Das zusätzliche Meisterwerk klingt auch schön und hörenswert. Faszinierend vom Anfang bis zum Ende!

More than epic ! I'll be coming back again and again... 🙏

I think Liszt also played this concerto in public in one of his concert.

[@saltburner2]

The concerto is not as good as her Robert's - but on a par with the two by Mendelssohn.

[@alexandrebak6773]

Composed at 13, it's not bad :)

[@saltburner2]

@@alexandrebak6773 agreed - I hadn't realised she was that young! Many of her later works show much greater maturity

[@alexandrebak6773]

@@saltburner2👍

[@haydnenthusiast]

Maybe on par with Mendelssohn's 2nd, but not his first or even his A-minor that he composed when he was about the same age.

[@canman5060]

@@alexandrebak6773 Started to work at 14 and giving its public performance at 18.

Not a masterpiece

[@canman5060]

We cannot expect too much from a 14 year old !

[@dpetrov32]

i think this is a case of cultural appropriation

Musical sensitivity is common amongst ALL cultures.
