About the Composer & Performers

Robert Schumann (1810–1856) remains a monumental figure of German Romanticism. His concertante pieces compress formal orchestral structures into focused, highly expressive single and multi-movement works. Swiss conductor Heinz Holliger is recognized for his authoritative interpretations of Romantic orchestral literature. Violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja and pianist Alexander Lonquich provide virtuosic solo performances alongside the world-renowned WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln.
