SCHUMANN DAY - ‘Florestan and Eusebius’ – Spring Song

Warren Mailley-Smith (piano)

Schumann - Abegg Variations (Op. 1)
Schumann – Sehnsucht / Der Fischer / Im Herbste (Eleanor Laugharne – soprano)
Schumann - Carnaval (Op. 9)


The brilliant young pianist plays piano music from Schumann’s early years. The two imaginary characters which Schumann created to describe the different sides of his own personality can clearly be heard: the outgoing virtuosity of ‘Florestan’ vies for attention with the introverted lyricism of ‘Eusebius’. We will also hear three of his very rarely performed early songs.
