Acclaimed pianist Alexander Lonquich has long been intrigued by the complex interrelationships between Schumann and Burgmuller and their circle of influences. Lonquich brings his unique and scintillating insight to this performance of Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor and The Colibri Ensemble bring their finesse to Burgm\xfcller's Symphony No.2 in D major, Op.11.

The lives of Robert Schumann and Norbert Burgm\xfcller intersect in fascinating ways. Both were born in 1810, and both spent significant periods of their lives in D\xfcsseldorf, which is how Schumann came to orchestrate the Scherzo of Burgm\xfcller's Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 11. \r
The conversational principles of the concerto's first movement are taken even further in the central Intermezzo, in which Schumann creates a sense of intimate dialogue enhanced by the delicate, almost chamber-like treatment of his orchestral forces. We then tumble effortlessly into the finale, which is full of subtle touches that reveal a composer at the peak of his powers: there are no perfunctory finale fireworks, but rather a movement of quirky good humour and perfectly-judged invention.

Burgm\xfcller's Second Symphony unfolds with charming ease, undulating between genial lyricism and stormier interjections reminiscent of Beethoven's 'Pastoral' Symphony. The work culminates in the Scherzo, a tussle between a refined dance, perhaps representing the civilised aspects of humanity, and sudden torrents of sound reflecting the irrepressible forces of Nature.
