Schumann chamber music from Wigmore Hall
Pianist Jonathan Biss joins forces with the Elias Quartet for an all-Schumann programme featuring the composer's Violin Sonata No 1, String Quartet No 2 and Piano Quintet.
Internationally acclaimed artists join forces for this all-Schumann programme recorded last week at Wigmore Hall. 'If I ever stop finding music challenging and life-altering, I鈥檒l quit and become an accountant,' says American pianist Jonathan Biss. Happily for music lovers, Jonathan Biss has stuck with the piano and has continues to garner an impressive list of awards for his performances and recordings. He's joined by the equally celebrated Elias Quartet, one of the UK's leading ensembles; they're regular collaborators and this promises to be an evening of memorable music-making.
Presented by Natasha Riordan.
