Presented by Petroc Trelawny

A concert from the Cheltenham Festival, exploring the relationship between Schumann, Brahms and the woman they both loved, Clara. Steven Isserlis's script, read by Simon Callow, links extracts from the three-way correspondence they had in the final years of Schumann's life, including the final traumatising years of Schumann's residence in the Endenich asylum.
