Schumann
The Sonatas for Violin and Piano
Jennifer Koh, violin
Reiko Uchida, piano
Playing and recording the Schumann Sonatas is one of my most personal
projects to date. Schumann’s music has always compelled me as a
musician and a listener for as long as I can remember. Schumann’s
music is the most human with its viscerally haunting, obsessive, tender
and vulnerable extremes. One can connect a lifetime of experiences -
birth, love, hate, death - into every phrase of his music. These disparate
experiences are tied together into one life - one phrase - one movement
- one sonata - in Schumann’s music.
A single phrase is like a poignant
memory that returns and with each visit is reborn more vividly, more
passionately, more tenderly than before. — Jennifer Koh
