The creative genius of Robert Schumann, his unbridled, dreamlike fantasy and his close affinity to
poetry and literature, has inspired many composers after him. This highly original program offers
several works written as Hommage à Schumann: by György Kurtág (Hommage à R. Sch. for clarinet,
viola and piano), Jörg Widmann (Nachtstück, for clarinet, cello and piano), as well as original works by
Schumann himself, arranged for different ensembles by Aribert Reimann (Fantasiestücke Op. 73, for
clarinet, flute, harp, two violas and 6 Gesänge Op. 107 for soprano and string quartet) and Theodor
Kirchner (Sechs Studien, for violin, cello and piano).

 

… This recording is a gratifying compilation of gentle tones and with its arrangements and recreations
treads an original path to Robert Schumann. This is what Kammerata Luxembourg stands for: an ensemble
that displays its country of origin in its name and is fundamentally an innovative chamber
music ensemble, with a new name to mark the occasion.

With Hommage à Schumann, Kammerata captures the strong influence that the great Romantic
master continues to exert on his contemporary counterparts.
… Overall a recording deserving of a high repertoire value.
