Chamber music occupies the largest part of Camillo Schumann’s extensive compositional output, his admiration of Brahms, Liszt and Rachmaninov evident at every turn. The cello sonatas and concert pieces on this disc also demonstrate Schumann’s own distinctive melodic gifts, his virtuosic writing for the piano and his emotional intensity. The fire and energy, mercurial instrumental interplay and arching lyricism of his music are masterfully handled by the internationally renowned cellist Maria Kliegel in partnership with pianist Francesco Piemontesi, who was recently selected as a BBC New Generation Artist.
