Robert Schumann is the 'Composer of the Week' on 'Arpeggio' - 27th April - 1st May

Friday, 24 April 2015 , ora 10.00
 

Symbol of romantic expression, haunted by his own ghosts and demons, by unfulfilled loves and physical pain...

Touched, even if unsteadily, by genius, a generous enthusiast convinced that life and art must mingle...

The complex artist, joining in his experiences the decayed hopes of concert pianistics, critical pleas of music and its performers, compositional fulfillments...

Conscience of musical Romanticism showing that the artist's role is to shed light...

A life as a battle between Poetry and Music or between the Limits of the physical and the Infinite of the metaphysical...

A battle won insofar as his art continues to be appreciated.

Between 27th April and 1st May you are invited to choose - from the artist's multitude of faces - the one which you fancy, during the last hour of the Arpeggio show. The great performers of Schumann's scores - Martha Argerich, Christian Zacharias, Yannick Nezet- Seguin, Christoph Eschenbach, Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, Herbert von Karajan, Dan Iordăchescu, Valentin Gheorghiu - will be, through their recordings, on the shows that you are invited to listen to.
