Concerto Per Violoncello Op.129, Trio PeOpis:Product Description This final instalment in our trilogy devoted to the complete concertos and trios of Schumann spotlights the cello of Jean-Guihen Queyras. The Cello Concerto, though energetically championed by Clara Schumann, suffered from delays in publication and was not premiered until after the composer s death. Interpreted in the same poetic spirit as its two predecessors, this third volume concludes an adventure that has changed for ever the way we listen to Schumann. 'The idea for this CD project arose during a tour on which we performed Robert Schumann s Trio Op.80. As passionate admirers of the composer, we conceived the desire to place his works for piano, violin and cello in a broader context and to illuminate them mutually in order to allow listeners to gain a deeper understanding of his music. We soon agreed to play the pieces for this recording on a historical piano and stringed instruments with gut strings, using orchestral forces to match. Thanks to this, we expected our playing to be better balanced, better articulated, and more open-minded. Pablo Heras-Casado and the Freiburger Barockorchester sprang spontaneously to mind as the ideal partners for a project of this kind. And indeed they took up our idea enthusiastically and were keen and irreplaceable fellow-conspirators in the world of Schumann. Our shared journey into the magical world of this incomparable composer will remain with us as an exceptionally intense, happy and fulfilling experience.' Isabelle Faust, Alexander Melnikov, Jean-Guihen Queyras Review 'I really like the sweetness of Queyras sound high on the cello, which really comes into its own in the slow movement before the athletic bounce and muscular drive of the finale ... the transition into Schumann s D Minor Piano Trio 1 is lovely, it works really well as a coupling ... you will want to finish the set with this new one.' --Andrew McGregor BBC Radio 3 Record Review, 2nd April 2016Queyras gives an intimately conversational account of the Cello Concerto, never turning it into a virtuoso vehicle for its own sake, and persuades the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra under Pablo Heras-Casado to give him equally gentle, refined support. In the D minor Trio, both his and Faust s supplely expressive phrasing goes a long way towards mitigating Melnikov s tendency to over-assertiveness, too, though the pianist s playing is by no means one-dimensional and he conjures some delicate, silvery sonorities from the 1847 Streicher instrument that he has used throughout the series. --Andrew Clements The Guardian, 21st April 2016'This is the last of HM s ingenious 'Schumann Trilogy', in which each of the composer s concertos for piano, violin and cello are coupled with his piano trios for the same instruments. Here we have the late Cello Concerto coupled with his bold, flamboyant D minor Trio, masterpiece of his late thirties. Queyras s delicate tone, sensibility and technical bravura are ideal in the concerto, and he s the perfect foil for the temperamental Isabelle Faust (violin) and Alexander Melnikov (piano) in the trio.' Hugh Canning The Sunday Times, 10th April 2016...'The idea of a recording series centred on Schumann s piano trios, and combining them respectively with contextual Schumann concertos, isn t the only refreshing aspect of a series whose latest release partners the Piano Trio No 1, Op 63 with the Cello Concerto, Op 129. For the collaboration with piano trio Isabelle Faust (violin), Jean-Guihen Queyras (cello) and Alexander Melnikov (fortepiano) also includes the svelte precision of the gut-strung Freiburger Barockorchester under Pablo Heras-Casado. This brings a vivid immediacy to the Cello Concerto, the unforced robustness of Queyras solo playing completely in tune with the orchestra s visceral rawness. It takes a bit of getting used to, but ultimately draws out all that is manful and emotionally direct in the music.
