CD der Woche: Benjamin Grosvenor spielt Schumann und Brahms

The acclaimed British pianist, Benjamin Grosvenor, still only 30 and yet a well-established favourite of critics and audiences around the globe, takes Robert Schumann’s haunting Kreisleriana as his starting point in his new album, Schumann &amp; Brahms. This eight-movement work portrays the mercurial personality of the fictional Johannes Kreisler, created by E. T. A. Hoffmann: Kreisler’s highs and lows, and his dreamy nature, clearly mirror Schumann’s own tragic manic-depressive tendencies. Grosvenor responds to the composer’s autobiographical honesty with playing of sublime tenderness, dazzling variety, and imaginative empathy.Track Listing:1 R. Schumann: Kreisleriana, Op.16 / i.

Episode 155:  19155 Benjamin Grosvenor - Schumann and Brahms

Benjamin Grosvenor — Schumann &amp; Brahms (Decca)      controls    src="https://play.publicradio.org/unreplaced_ua/o/minnesota/classical/programs/new_classical_tracks/2023/03/15/new_classical_tracks_2023_03_15_new-classical-tracks-benjamin-grosvenor_20230315_128.mp3"&gt;New Classical Tracks - Benjamin Grosvenorby “They're so interconnected as figures and personalities. There are so many ways you can bring them together, because their whole lives are just interconnected in this wonderful way,” British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor says about his latest recording, Schumann &amp; Brahms, which explores the fascinating relationship among Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms.Can you tell us about the fictional character by E.T.A. Hoffmann that is the inspiration for the first track, Kreisleriana?“Johannes Kreisler was a romanticized idea of a tortured artist, a musician with really high ideals and obsessed with the music of Bach. A temperamental musician prone to mood swings and fits of inspiration and then depression. Robert Schumann identified with him as a figure. I mean, there were many similarities between them. The most substantial movement of the set is the second. He told Clara that this piece was about their lives together. This movement is intimacy, longing and love.“Clara only performed certain movements of it, and Franz Liszt did, as well. Although they admired the piece, they thought it was too much for the audience. I believe that Robert even suggested to Clara that when she plays the last movement, perhaps she should do a crescendo at the end so that the audience would applaud. The idea of a piece disappearing to pianissimo as it does was unusual for the time.”When you perform the work, do you do the pianissimo?“Yes. It's a magical effect.  Everything dissolves, like in a puff of smoke.”Why did you choose Robert Schumann’s Romance No. 2 for this album?“When they were married, he wrote these romances. Clara requested that he dedicate them to her, and she greatly admired this second piece. She said she knew of nothing more tender than this love duet. It remained a special piece for her throughout her life. It was the last piece she requested on her deathbed. A grandson played it for her.” Watch nowTo hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.ResourcesBenjamin Grosvenor — Schumann &amp; Brahms (Presto music)Benjamin Grosvenor — Schumann &amp; Brahms (Amazon) Benjamin Grosvenor (official site)

Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor explores the relationship among Romantic composers

Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor adds a new disc to his catalog of seven with Decca. He will return to Pittsburgh to play Liszt in May of 2024 having lost a concert due to the pandemic in the process but gaining a last minute chamber music concert at Heinz Hall. He speaks with Jim Cunningham about his Schumann Kreisleriana, Blumenstuck and 3 romances plus Clara Schumann's Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann and a Brahms Intermezzo. And is he the Grosvenor family of Grosvenor Square in London---the family that dates back to the 15th century and will he be back at the BBC Proms next summer?
