The Romantic Forest - Schumann's Forest Scenes
Schumann's Forest Scenes from pianist Eric Lu, one of CPE Bach's Flute Sonatas from Elizaveta Ivanova and a sublime song by Nadia Boulanger, sung by Johanna Wallroth.
Forest Scenes: Schumann's Waldszenen from pianist Eric Lu and one of CPE Bach's Flute Sonatas from Elizaveta Ivanova.
Robert Schumann wrote his Waldszenen in 1848 and early 1849 as he battled against cycles of debilitating depression. These woodland scenes are symbols of mystery and certainly have their darker moments, so much so that Clara Schumann found some scenes too upsetting and chose not to play them. Eric Lu gave this performance at Wigmore Hall in 2022 when he was a member of Radio 3's prestigious young artist programme. Also today, current members, soprano Johanna Wallroth and flutist Elizaveta Ivanova are heard in recent recordings made at the 大象传媒 studios, including a sublime song by Nadia Boulanger.
