Robert Schumann (1810-1856) Cello concerto in A Minor, Op. 129 I. Nicht zu schnell 00:00 II. Langsam 10:41 III. Sehr lebhaft 14:50 Nicolas Altstaedt, Cello Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz Alexander Joel, Conductor Like violinists Alexandra Soumm and Liviu Prunaru; baritone Herman Wallén; harpist Emmanuel Ceysson and pianist Joseph Moog in preceding years; French-German cellist Nicolas Altstaedt has been selected from a group of young soloists at the festival Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad 2008 to make a recording with orchestra financed by the manifestation’s principal partner; the Edmond de Rothschild Private Bank. A student of Boris Pergamenchikov (Altstaedt was one of the last to profit from his mastery); the artist of 27 years already is active internationally – notably; he is one of the very few European musicians to have been selected by the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society in New York to perform in its concert series and tours. He has chosen two virtuoso works from the 19th century (Schumann’s Cello Concerto and Tchaikowsky’s Rococo Variations) as well as Friedrich Gulda’s fascinating Concerto for Cello and Wind Band for his first recording with orchestra. This is a very promising calling card; made hand in hand with conductor Alexander Joel and the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz. It is likewise a beautiful homage to the founder of Claves Records; Marguerite Dütschler-Huber; who initiated this undertaking; and which since her passing in June 2006 has been christened the “Marguerite Dütschler Prize”. Nicolas Altstaedt plays a Nicolas Lupot Cello (Paris 1821) loaned to him by the German Foundation of Musical Life (Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben). http://www.claves.ch Concerto category: http://www.claves.ch/categories/concerto Artist(s) collection: http://www.claves.ch/artists/nicolas-altstaedt Album N°: CD 50-2901 EAN: 7619931290126 _________________ Awards: 5 Diapason: http://www.claves.ch/awards/5-diapason _________________ Find more: http://www.claves.ch/categories/concerto/albums/schumann-cello-concerto-op-129-tchaikovsky-rococo-variations-f-gulda-cello-concerto Buy this album: http://www.claves-records.myshopify.com Contact us: info[at]claves.ch / +41 21 721 13 66 Press: presse[at]claves.ch _________________ Find this album on the most famous digital platforms: iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/schumann-cello-concerto-op./id304640120 Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/album/31tgg4LmmnQtGdDvbUbiDA Qobuz: http://www.qobuz.com/album/nicolas-altstaedt-schumann-cello-concerto-op-129-tchaikovsky-rococo-variations-f-gulda-cello-concerto/0884385411695 AmazonMp3: http://www.amazon.com/Nicolas-Altstaedt-Cello-Schumann-Tchaikovsky/dp/B001TNCPN2/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373452185&sr=301-1 Deezer: http://www.deezer.com/album/9531102 Rhapsody: http://www.rhapsody.com/artist/nicolas-altstaedt/album/nicolas-altstaedt-cello---schumanntchaikovskygulda Freegal: http://www.freegalmusic.com/artists/view/Tmljb2xhcyBBbHRzdGFlZHQsIERldXRzY2hlIFN0YWF0c3BoaWxhcm1vbmllIFJoZWlubGFuZC1QZmFseiwgQWxleGFuZGVyIEpvZWw=/884385411695/aW9kYQ== Tidal: http://listen.tidalhifi.com/album/9290263 Classicsonline: http://www.classicsonline.com/catalogue/product.aspx?pid=2238375 eMusic: http://www.emusic.com/album/nicolas-altstaedt-deutsche-staatsphilarmonie-rheinland-pfalz-alexander-joel/nicolas-altstaedt-cello-schumanntchaikovskygulda/11380864/ .. _________________ Recorded in Ludwigshafen (Germany), Philharmonie, 3-7 November 2008 EXECUTIVE PRODUCER Thierry Scherz RECORDING Tonstudio van Geest RECORDING PRODUCER Günter Appenheimer EDITING Günter Appenheimer, Kohei Seguchi BOOKLET EDITOR Antonin Scherrer PHOTOGRAPHS MArco Borggreve DESIGN Amethys In collaboration with the Banque Privée Edmond de Rothschild and the Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad.

Piano Trio in D minor nº 1 Op. 63 (1847) (score), de Robert Schumann (1810-1856). Kyung Wha Chung, violin Paul Tortelier, cello André Previn, piano. I. Mit Energie und Leidenschaft (Energico and with emotion) (00:00) II. Lebhaft, doch nicht zu rasch (Vivo ma non troppo) (12:41) III. Langsam, mit inniger Empfindung - Bewegter - Tempo I - attacca (Lento with tender emotion - Colourful - Tempo I - attaca) (17:23) IV. Mit Feuer - Nach und nach schneller (Passionately - Faster and faster) (23:50) For Schumann, the year 1847 was relatively "dry" in terms of composition. He revised the final scene of his Scenes from Goethe's Faust, which he had written three years earlier. In April, he sketched the overture to his opera, Genoveva, which he set aside until the next year. During the rest of 1847, he composed a few songs, the brief choral work, Beim Abschied zu singen, and two Piano Trios, No. 1 in D minor, Op. 63, and No. 2 in F major, Op. 80. Schumann composed three trios for violin, cello and piano: in D minor, Op. 63; in F major, Op. 80 (both from 1847); and in G minor, Op. 110 (1851). The first of these, in D minor, is generally regarded as the strongest work of the three. An experimental approach to harmony in the F major Trio is usually given as a weakness when the piece measured against its Classical-era models, while the G minor Trio shows some signs of the decay that accompanied the composer's encroaching mental illness. The intimate chamber music genres allowed Schumann to indulge his preference for intricate figurations and subtle harmonic inflections that are such a salient feature of his solo piano pieces. Not surprisingly, the piano chamber works are clearly piano driven, with the strings either following the keyboard part or acting in opposition to it as a unified block. The sonata-form first movement of the Piano Trio in D minor is in 4/4 meter and marked, "Mit Energie und Leidenschaft" (With energy and passion). Throughout the expansive first theme, the pianist plays rapid arpeggios outlining the harmony. During the secondary theme, however, the piano traces the melody with the strings before the closing section, which consists of a return to the first theme, now on F major and rhythmically diminished. Schumann's most ingenious stroke in the movement is the new theme in the development section. Constrained energy marks the second movement, "Lebhaft, doch nicht zu rasch" (Lively, but not too fast) a Scherzo and Trio in F major. Its 3/4 meter is always clear in the piano part, supporting the rising, dotted melody in the strings. The rising melody appears again in the Trio, although here it is much slower and more relaxed, and rounds off with a descent. Marked "Langsam, mit inniger Empfindungen" (Slowly, with inner feeling), the third movement is a ternary structure (ABA) with a wandering harmonic structure. Beginning on C major, the violin melody moves toward a new harmony after eight measures. After passing through C minor, a new section begins, firmly in F major, and the piano becomes clearly subservient to the violin and cello, providing repeated chords and creating a 12/8 meter. In the return of the A section, Schumann follows the opening for only seven measures; in the eighth the melody changes and the harmony heads toward A major. The movement ends with a powerful French sixth chord (in D minor) moving to an A major triad, the dominant of D major, which is the key of the Finale. The shape of the first theme of the movement is very much like that of the violin theme opening the first movement. The Finale, marked "Mit Feuer" (With fire), begins without a break after the slow movement. Schumann links the finale to the first movement through thematic reference. The first four violin notes of the first movement appear, rhythmically altered, in the piano melody of the second and third measures of the Finale.
