	Cello Concerto (Schumann) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cello Concerto in A minor by Robert Schumann was completed in 1850, shortly after Schumann became the music director of Düsseldorf.
		Like some of Schumann's other concerti, the first movement of the cello concerto begins with a very short orchestral introduction followed by the solo introduction, which in turn is followed by a short tutti that leads into a lyrical melody.
		As a result, many of his works, including the cello concerto, contain no break between the last two movements.

		On the 3rd of October 1835 Schumann met Mendelssohn at Wieck's house in Leipzig, and his appreciation of his great contemporary was shown with the same generous freedom that distinguished him in all his relations to other musicians, and which later enabled him to recognize the genius of Brahms when he was still obscure.
		In 1836 Schumann's acquaintance with Clara Wieck, already famous as a pianist, ripened into love, and a year later he asked her father's consent to their marriage, but was met with a refusal.
		Schumann's biographers represent him as caught in a tempest of song, the sweetness, the doubt and the despair of which are all to be attributed to varying emotions aroused by his love for Clara.

	INKPOT -- SSO, George Cleve, Danjulo Ishizaka - 6 Nov 2004
		Schumann had learned the cello in his youth and thus nurtured a private affection for this instrument.
		Because Schumann’s cello concerto’s core structure is introspective, without the bravura of other works of this genre, it is relatively underappreciated and probably the least played of the warhorses, a pity since its beauty lies deep seated and requires concentration and several hearings to yield its rewards.
		Schumann himself was an accomplished critic in his time - he would use pseudonyms such as Florestan and Eusebius when the mood suited him to be critical or complimentary respectively.

		The Cello Concerto of 1850 was first performed four years after Schumann's death, while the 1853 Violin Concerto had to wait over eighty years before its first performance in 1937.
		Schumann wrote three string quartets in 1842, a fertile period that saw also the composition of the Piano Quintet and a Piano Quartet.
		Other important chamber music by Schumann includes three piano trios, three violin sonatas and a number of shorter character-pieces that include the Märchenbilder for viola and piano, collections of Phantasiestücke with alternative instrumentation and the cello and piano Fünf Stücke im Volkston, with other short pieces generally suggesting a literary or otherwise extra-musical programme.

	Pro Arte: Schumann; Cello Concerto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Schumann's last years were a time of increasing concern over his mental health.
		Moreover, the Cello Concerto is unusually concentrated; it needs several hearings for full appreciation of its compact form, its connections between movements - links of sonority and effect, including the wonderful opening sound of woodwind chords, pizzicato strings, and a lovely melody in the solo cello.
		In the slow movement, the chords derived from the opening are pervasive, and the cello, after a wonderfully Schumannesque songlike theme, turns rather to recitative, implying thoughtful speech rather than song, poignantly expressed and shared between the soloist and the orchestra.

		Robert Schumann, who had learned to play the cello as a young man, wrote his Cello Concerto in A minor in 1850, having recently moved from Leipzig to Dusseldorf.
		The concerto, breaking a dry spell in Schumann's compositional labors, came forth in a flood of writing over a two-week period, from the tenth to the twenty-fourth of October.
		Schumann died in July 1856, and the concerto was left unplayed until June of 1860, when it received its first performance at the hands of Ludwig Ebert with the Leipzig Conservatory Orchestra.

		Soon after completing the violoncello concerto and the symphony, he began to complain about nervous exhaustion and pains that were possibly of a psychosomatic nature.
		There were problems at home as well, which is not surprising considering that Clara had had to give up her career as a pianist to raise a constantly growing number of children and to cater to every whim of her hypersensitive husband.
		Schumann's conditioned worsened, and on February 27, 1854 he tried to commit suicide by leaping into the Rhine.

		No one is likely to be disappointed with Maisky's performance of the Concerto, but for an alternative account of virtually the identical programme played by a musician who clearly loves every note, try Steven Isserlis with Christoph Eschenbach.
		Each work is wonderful, but by the end of the CD we were "celloed out." I think it could have been better programmed with a track or two of solo piano from Martha Argerich.

		Both give lyrical, dramatic performances of these lesser known Schumann works for the cello and piano; their playing seems almost sublime, replete with much empathy and respect for each other as partners.
		Maisky's performance of the Schumann cello concerto with Orpheus is splendid too, though I wouldn't regard it as definitive.
		The concerto with Orpheus is Maisky in a tremendous display of his skills as a musician with flawless styles, and Orpheus backs him beautifully

	Pieter Wispelwey - Interview
		PW: I recorded this Schumann concerto about three weeks ago in Holland with the Australian Chamber Orchestra and the Netherlands Wind Ensemble.
		The interesting aspect of this recording is that we did not have a conductor, yet I think the orchestra is more together in my recording than in any other Schumann cello concerto I've heard.
		PW: Yes, concertos are often written so that the cellist has to struggle against the orchestra like a tormented hero.

	DSCH 13 Shostakovich CD Reviews - The Unknown Shostakovich
		Boris Tishchenko wrote his First Cello Concerto in 1963 and six years later Shostakovich reorchestrated it as a thirtieth-birthday present, though Tishchenko seems to have been unimpressed by the gesture.
		The whole work continues to be a paradox, gripping but hard to grasp, with the cello and orchestra seeming to drift in and out of shared and different worlds.
		If Shostakovich felt that Tishchenko had orchestrated his concerto oddly, and at the same time wanted to draw it nearer to his own idiom, he thought Schumann had done his badly due to depression, and generally tried to help the earlier composer express himself better.

		The Noise Rating Index is a partially-objective measurement of pager and handphone blasts, 9pm and 10pm watch beeps, coughing-during-the-pianissimo-bits, intra-audience conversation and other mind-bogglingly inept noises emitted in the concert hall during actual performance of music.
		The violin has the Brahms and the Beethoven, the piano the Beethoven Fourth, and the cello the Schumann Cello Concerto - a Romantic masterpiece, if any, and also very much the musician's concerto.
		Accompaniment was adequate, and the cello duets in the second movement were indeed very beautiful.

		There's much to be said for performing Schumann's cello concerto with a chamber orchestra rather than the full symphonic complement of massed strings.
		But as usual with this artist, the full-on intensity, frenetic vibrato, and near-manic emotional out-wringing of every passage (even those with no particular rhetorical importance like the first movement's second subject theme) turn the performance into a tournament.
		It's definitely not what Schumann envisioned; Maisky's approach lacks warmth and subtlety, and worse still, it tries to make the piece into something it was never designed to be, a vehicle for bravura display alone.
