Action is the name of the day in Schumann’s Piano Concerto, which gets straight down to some big romantic tunes from the off, before powering through to a satisfyingly powerful ending. Finishing the evening is his Symphony No. 2 – a “triumph of the will”, a musical depiction of someone struggling against the odds and pulling themselves through some very tough times.
