Brahms & Schumann’s four hands

Robert Schumann
Bilder aus Osten

Johannes Brahms
Variations sur un thème de Schumann, op. 9
Danses hongroises – sélection

For their second concert this season, pianists Manuel Vieillard and David Salmon choose to honour German music. They will perform Schumann’s four hand cycle Bilder aus Osten (“Pictures from the East”), written in 1848 and inspired by the poems of the Middle-Ages arab author Al-Hariri. They will also perform an enticing selection of Johannes Brahms’ famous Hungarian dances.
