Handel: Chaconne/Schumann: Davidsbündlertänze/...

For his tenth solo recording for Alpha Classics and Outhere Music, Nelson Goerner returns to a composer he particularly cherishes: Schumann, here with the Davidsbündler, his imaginary music society created to combat the Philistines, musicians considered decorative and traditionalist (such as Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti). Robert began the Davidsbündlertänze a few days after 14 August 1837, the date of his engagement to Clara. Between idyllic dreams and impassioned protests, Goerner is able to develop his full sense of narrative. In addition, he puts his sensitivity to work on Handel's 21 variations on the Chaconne in G major, published in 1735 under the title ‘Suite No. 2’. Viennese sweetness and virtuoso intoxication conclude this recital with the Arabesques on ‘The Blue Danube’ by Johann Strauss Jr., written by the Polish composer Adolf Schulz-Evler (1852/4-1905).
