Schumann and Mahler 7

Mahler’s Seventh Symphony is one his most imaginative – and unexpected – works, with two intimate ‘night music’ movements, an eerie pastiche of a waltz, and some surprising instrumental cameos, including guitar and mandolin.

Schumann’s only Piano Concerto takes listeners through three lyrical, fantasy-like movements. Building on an earlier piece dedicated to his wife, Clara, the Concerto includes some of Schumann’s most beautiful, accomplished and irresistible music.
