Schumann from the Leonkoro Quartet
The Leonkoro Quartet plays Robert Schumann's String Quartet in A, Op 41 No 3, at Wigmore Hall, and mezzo Niamh O'Sullivan sings one of his songs and one from her native Ireland.
Schumann and Hamilton Harty from Radio 3's New Generation Artists.
The glorious voice of Irish mezzo Niamh O'Sullivan is heard in a dramatic song by the composer-conductor, Hamilton Harty and the brilliant Leonkoro Quartet plays Schumann in a performance recorded earlier this year at Wigmore Hall. Forced to return home early from a concert tour with his wife, Clara, the thirty-one-year-old Robert found himself alone in Leipzig. Home alone Schumann was visited by what he called 鈥渜uartet-ish thoughts鈥� and used this time to study the quartets of Mozart and Beethoven. The quartet in A is the happy outcome.
