Schumann and Grieg’s piano concertos, often paired together in concert and on recordings, seem to chart the range of Romantic expression, from the confessional to the triumphant. This iconic repertoire, the meeting ground between pianist Reed Tetzloff and Sir John Eliot Gardiner, still holds a few surprises. The choice to record a rarely-heard intermediate version of the Schumann Concerto offers a glimpse into the work’s evolution and casts new light on Schumann’s compositional process as well as his relationship with Clara, his true artistic collaborator.

Soloist and conductor, driven by a shared desire to challenge and to surprise, reveal here an undeniable artistic affinity through a fresh and deeply engaged interpretation.
