Benjamin Grosvenor plays Schumann & Brahms

Solo piano works from Brahms & Schumann (Robert & Clara) exploring the relationships between the composers. Benjamin Grosvenor's recital starts with Robert Schumann's great Kreisleriana, and includes variations by each of Schumanns on a theme by the other, before concluding with Brahms's late Op 117 intermezzos, composed with Clara in mind—she became the first pianist to see them.
