“Alla Schumann” is the title of one of Tchaikovsky’s Variations, his clear homage to a composer whom he deeply admired: Robert Schumann. Aside from this admiration, it also expresses a clear kinship between them, both in the writing and in the emotional range of their works. Between the intimacy of the confessional declarations, and the nostalgia for a dream world, via the warmth of unparalleled passion, this disk offers an exploration of the musical and spiritual bond between two major figures of Romanticism. (Nathalia Milstein)
