NZSO: Love Eternal
The love story of Robert and Clara Schumann is the stuff of legend and beautifully reflected in Robert's only piano concerto, written for her. Clara said after the premiere: "... how rich in invention, how interesting from the beginning to the end, how fresh and what a beautiful coherent whole!"
