## Description

Robert Schumann is perhaps best remembered for two things: the sheer number of his compositions, particularly his piano music, produced in his relatively short life; and his passionate and deeply tumultuous relationship with Clara Schumann, née Wieck, his highly accomplished pianist wife. Schumanns life was clouded with episodes of depression and emotional turmoil, to the extent that he spent the last two years of his life in an asylum, tormented by incidents of paranoia and delusion, as well as a fading memory. Despite or maybe because of his turbulent emotional state, Schumann managed to complete hundreds of compositions, from expansive orchestral works to tender Lieder and even a fully fledged opera. Schumann found inspiration at different points in his life to write for different forces. The year 1840 became known as his Lieder year, and among his many inspired compositions was the cycle Frauenliebe und leben, a compelling account of a womans life and love. In 1841, not long after marrying Clara, he was inspired by her encouragement to start writing for orchestra. He composed his first Symphony (Spring) in February of that year, later sketching his Overture, Scherzo and Finale Op.52 in April/May and composing what would become the Piano Concerto in May. In the same year he completed his D minor Symphony, though he wouldnt publish it for another ten years, making it his Fourth. The next year would come to be known as his Chamber Music year; despite struggling with resentment that Claras popularity as a pianist was outstripping his own as a composer, Schumann managed to turn his unhappiness into a productive spell of composition. In February 1842 he began the first two String Quartets, finishing them off in the summer, and in July he composed his third. The Piano Quintet was written in October, and November saw him working on the Piano Quartet. This highly productive period saw the composer exploring a range of styles, with intricate fugues as well as lighter motifs taken from Haydn and Mozart. In 1843 Schumann began working on oratorios, including Das Paradies und die Peri, but his true ambition was to write an opera. Unimpressed with Wagners offerings, Schumann spent a lot of time in thought before settling on the medieval tale of Genoveva for his first operatic work, completed in 1848. The opera is far removed from the vast forces required for Wagner; the work is a scene opera, characterised by recitative style phrasing and a sumptuously lyrical orchestral score. Throughout his life Schumann composed for the piano, inspired at first by his forbidden love for Clara (only receiving permission to marry her in 1840 after a long legal battle). His piano compositions continued well into the latter stages of his life, even during his time in the asylum. 14 of the 45 recordings on this release are dedicated to Schumanns solo piano music, not to mention his intricate writing for the Piano Concerto and piano chamber works. Among the many singers featured are Arleen Auger, one of the most highly regarded sopranos of the 20th century, who performs the magnificent Frauenliebe und leben, as well as Peter Schreier, who focuses on Lieder penned by Heinrich Heine. Newer recordings include Schumanns chamber works, performed by Quartetto Savinio described by La Repubblica as the heirs to the Quartetto Italiano along with Quartetto Klimt and the Daniel Quartet.

Review of Schumann EditionI give this boxed set five stars based upon the price of the CDs and the quality of the recorded music.  If you are looking for lavish packaging, picturesque CDs and full colour booklets then this set is not for you as all you get is a flimsy box, 45CD’s in identical colour coded (in five sections as below) card covers (each with a track listing), and a short printed essay. There is a comprehensive 80-page set of notes on each CD available to download as a PDF file, which can be printed out or viewed. A full track listing can be printed out from the website and this is vital as it is very hard to find a particular recording without the list.Orchestral WorksThe first five CDs cover all the orchestral works. The first two CDs feature Schumann’s four symphonies in recordings made in the early 1960s in the former DDR (East Germany) by the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra under Franz Konwitscheny. You will find better recordings of these symphonies especially considering the limited range of recording equipment available at that time in a country that was still part of the Soviet empire. If the rest of this boxed set contained recording of a similar vintage and style it would make a limited, if valuable collection, but fortunately most of the recordings were made in the 21st century.  CD 5 contains a super recoding of the Opus 34 Piano Concerto with Peter Frankl at the piano and Janos Furst conducting the Bamburg Symphony Orchestra.String MusicCDs 6 to 14 cover what I would call music for strings, starting with the three string quartets and the piano trios and following on with solo music for cello and the violin sonatas. Unlike the symphonies all of these recordings are new.  I am not familiar with this music but from a quick listen to them I find the recordings to be clear and precise and well up with modern standards of recording.  They were mostly recorded in Italy in 2014/15.Piano MusicSchumann’s output of piano music was vast and spans fourteen CDs. Most people will be familiar with the “Kreisleriana” (Opus 16) but the rest of the music is rarely heard today. Much of it is what I would call “Coffee Shop” music that sits easily in the background or is heard at its best with a cup of hot chocolate before retiring for the night. That said there are some real gems in the output such as “Papillons” (Opus 2), but like all of the works it takes some finding on CD23. Peter Frankl plays the piano on four of these CDs and  the brilliant Klara Wurtz plays the most popular works across another four CDs. The playing of both artists is never less than top notch.SongsSchumann must have written hundreds of songs and there are over 200 in this set spread over five CDs of songs plus four devoted to secular choral music. The songs were recorded in Dresden in the former East Germany in the 1970s with Peter Schreier or Arleen Auger singing and Norman Shetler or Walter Olvertz on piano. Very good recordings considering their age and some fine singing. The choral music featuring the Studio Vocale Karlsruhe was made in the late 1990s in West Germany. Not my sort of thing but seem very pleasant.Opera etcThe last eight CDs are all vocal music. The first four are 1980s vintage Leipzig music of the opera “Genoveva“ and the oratorio “Das Paradies und der Peri” This is followed the “Requiem” (Hungarian State Orchestra); then a modern recording of  ”Der Rose Pilgerfahrt” (recorded in Cologne in 2010) and finally comes my favourite of all the CDs being “Scenen auf Goethes Faust” which fills the last two CDs. This recording of “Faust” (the best bits only) was made in 2009 by the Warsaw Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra under Antoni Wit and appears to be the one issued on the Naxos label in 2011, which was well received by the music critics.All in all a pleasure to listen to and at a bargain price you just cannot go wrong with this box.Andrew Smith
