Beatrice Rana plays Robert Schumann, arr. Liszt: Widmung, Op. 25 No. 1

"To me, the song’s poem encapsulates Clara and Robert's relationship, telling of a love so incredible that it brings out in each of them 'ein bess’res Ich' (a better self)," says Beatrice Rana. She plays the beautiful Widmung by Robert Schumann for her album with Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who conducts the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. Discover more: https://w.lnk.to/swsLY

"Clara and Robert, the two protagonists of this recording, brought out the best in each other. Robert was clearly a master composer. It’s a pity that Clara didn’t compose more, but she nevertheless practically invented my job: she was a concert pianist at a time when that kind of career was unheard of for a woman, and she had eight children! So 'Widmung', in its transcription for solo piano by Franz Liszt, is also a dedication from me to this great couple, who are an endless source of inspiration." – Beatrice Rana
