Musique Pour Violoncelle Et Piano /Vol.2 [CD de audio] Emanuele Torquati and Robert Schumann

The program of this album presents an interesting anthology of arrangements for cello and piano of works written by Schumann for other instruments. This is a completely legitimate choice, since in some cases the Zwickau composer left it to the performers to choose which instrument to use between the clarinet, oboe and cello. In particular, the three Romanzas op. 94 were originally conceived for oboe and piano, but the arrangement by the famous 19th-century cellist Friedrich Grützmacher clearly demonstrates that the cello is also capable of better expressing its intense lyricism. The same discourse can be extended to the Sonata op. 105, in which the melancholic sounds of the cello admirably replace the higher timbre of the violin. The program is completed with Bach's Suite No. 3 for Solo Cello, to which Schumann added a piano part. As they already demonstrated in the first volume (Bril 94150), Francesco Dillon and Emanuele Torquati are the ideal interpreters of this wonderful repertoire. Francesco Dillon, cello
