Faust, Melnikov & Queyras: Schumann Concertos

Filmed at the Philharmonie Berlin in May 2014, this concert brings together Isabelle Faust, Alexander Melnikov and Jean-Guihen Queyras with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra under Pablo Heras-Casado in a compelling exploration of Schumann’s concertante works. The Piano, Violin and Cello Concertos are framed by the Overture, Scherzo and Finale, revealing a sound world of striking clarity and colour through the use of period instruments. This celebrated line-up’s acclaimed recordings of these works drew widespread attention for the freshness of their approach; here, live in concert, the same spirit of discovery brings Schumann’s music to life with irresistible immediacy and expressive intensity.
