• 7:00 PM. Appointment

  The World of Robert Schumann

  Thirteen programmes in an epic series that has been over 20 years in the making. Host, John Tibbetts, recognized something in the music and in the man that "spoke" to him in special ways. Since it's inception in 1983 as a few programmes with narration and music, The World of Robert Schumann now includes dramatizations, interviews, critical comment and hundreds of musical excerpts

  (7) Love and Marriage: Art, Career and Family in the Schumann Household 1840-1850

  Robert and Clara struggle to work and raise children in the new middle-class Germany. Marital tensions, family responsibilities and professional ambitions force Schumann to attempt the popular forms of the symphony, opera and oratorio. Discussion by biographers Nancy Reich and Peter Ostwald and conductors David Zinman and Leonard Slatkin. Analyses of the Piano Concerto in A minor by André-Michel Schub and Mischa Dichter; and Paradise and the Peri by John Eliot Gardiner (WFMT)
