| | Composer |
 | | As a composer Schumann's gifts are clearly heard in his piano music and in his songs. | | | Other important chamber music by Schumann includes three piano trios, three violin sonatas and a number of shorter character-pieces that include the Märchenbilder for viola and piano, collections of Phantasiestücke with alternative instrumentation and the cello and piano Fünf Stücke im Volkston, with other short pieces generally suggesting a literary or otherwise extra-musical programme. | | | Later piano music by Schumann includes the Album für die Jugend of 1848, Waldszenen of 1849 and the collected Bunte Blätter and Albumblätter drawn from earlier work. |

| | Cello Concerto (Schumann) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Like some of Schumann's other concerti, the first movement of the cello concerto begins with a very short orchestral introduction followed by the solo introduction, which in turn is followed by a short tutti that leads into a lyrical melody. | | | The Cello Concerto in A minor by Robert Schumann was completed in 1850, shortly after Schumann became the music director of Düsseldorf. | | | As a result, many of his works, including the cello concerto, contain no break between the last two movements. |

| | Pro Arte: Schumann; Cello Concerto |
| | Moreover, the Cello Concerto is unusually concentrated; it needs several hearings for full appreciation of its compact form, its connections between movements - links of sonority and effect, including the wonderful opening sound of woodwind chords, pizzicato strings, and a lovely melody in the solo cello. | | | Clara played through it at the piano and wrote, in October 1851, "The romantic quality, the vivacity, the freshness and humor, also the highly interesting interweaving of violoncello and orchestra are indeed wholly ravishing, and what euphony and deep feeling one finds in all the melodic passages!" | | | Both technically and emotionally it requires a soloist of mature musical instincts. |

| | INKPOT#87 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Singapore Symphony Orchestra - 10 December 1999 |
| | The violin has the Brahms and the Beethoven, the piano the Beethoven Fourth, and the cello the Schumann Cello Concerto - a Romantic masterpiece, if any, and also very much the musician's concerto. | | | The Noise Rating Index is a partially-objective measurement of pager and handphone blasts, 9pm and 10pm watch beeps, coughing-during-the-pianissimo-bits, intra-audience conversation and other mind-bogglingly inept noises emitted in the concert hall during actual performance of music. | | | Here was a performance which though very musicianly and logical, failed to catch fire and take off for this listener. |

| | Gulda, having recorded the whole cycle of Beethoven Sonatas and all 5 Piano Concertos, admitted openly that Fournier was his "superior" as far as Beethoven was concerned... | | | Suffice to say that Fournier had recorded almost all chamber music with Schnabel, Szegetti and Cortot before recording all the Beethoven Cello sonatas with Kempff and then the same with Gulda. | | | The sound of this DVD is more than acceptable, but the quality of the picture-- except that last piece which was in colour-- somehow leaves a little bit more to be desired. |

| | DSCH 13 Shostakovich CD Reviews - The Unknown Shostakovich |
| | Polyansky is less sparky at the beginning but outshines Rozhdestvensky at the end; a good performance of this enjoyably brash and fun opener, typical of Shostakovich's theatre music of the time. | | | While I may have carped about 'première recordings' claims this disc is certainly the easiest way to hear some of these pieces, but with performances of this standard that's not the only reason to buy it. | | | Perhaps inevitably, Shostakovich's contemporary works come to mind - neither the Second Cello Concerto nor the Fourteenth Symphony is far away, and yet Tischenko's concerto retains its individuality. |

| | Like the piano concerto, the cello concerto unfolds in a single unbroken sweep through three movments—Nicht zu schnell, Langsam, and Sehr lebhaft. | | | They show rather little of the brilliance, the spontaneous, even wild, vibrancy of the earlier works. | | | Schumann's late works will always pose a problem for performing musicians. |

| | INKPOT -- SSO, George Cleve, Danjulo Ishizaka - 6 Nov 2004 |
| | The cadenza, placed by Schumann at the last 3 minutes of the third movement, the Sehr lebhaft (or “very lively”), could have benefited from a more mature and profound approach to the music; Ishizaka’s performance was too child-like. | | | Several more works for cello and piano are said to exist, unfortunately destroyed by his wife Clara Schumann several decades after his death. | | | Those of us who use our free time studying and listening to the works of very dead people will know that Robert Schumann spent the last years of his life in a lunatic asylum near Bonn. |
