Carolyn Sampson, one of today’s most sought-after sopranos, and pianist Joseph Middleton present a brilliantly conceived look at the lives of Robert and Clara Schumann, taking Robert’s cycle Frauenliebe und -leben and interspersing it with songs and solo piano pieces by Clara. These eight ‘scenes’ poignantly remind us of the highs and lows of this extraordinary couple and their complex relationship.
