Schumann: Kreisleriana / Holliger: Partita - Lonqu

Lonquich Alexander

Robert Schumann: Kreisleriana op. 16 (First Edition, 1838)
Heinz Holliger: Partita (1999)

“Schumann is the composer who has almost always been at the true centre of my thoughts” says Heinz Holliger, and the brilliant performance by Alexander Lonquich illuminates deep connections between the sound-worlds and imaginations of two great composers separated by one and half centuries. In this remarkable recital, Lonquich offers new insights in his account of the 1838 first edition of Kreisleriana op. 16, and then plunges deep into Holliger’s contemporary invocation of Schumann, the “radicalized romanticism” of the 1999 piano cycle “Partita”.
