It is a true pleasure to welcome extraordinary clarinetist Maksim Shtrykov and sensitive pianist Misuzu Tanaka back to La Grua. Not only are they to record Robert Schumann's original duos with clarinet, they will introduce insightful transcriptions of music long familiar in its original oboe and violin versions. Schumann's incomparable chamber music has been at the very heart of the repertoire for 150 years. These duos are among the most beloved of all.
