Fantastic! There are striking affinities between the aria “Herr, du siehst statt guter Werke” taken from Bach’s Cantata BWV 9, beginning with the last few notes of Schumann’s slow movement, then developed segue in its finale from an initial three-note cell (descending 5th, ascending major 6th)-then Schumann quotes Bach’s line “wir glauben nimmst du an” almost verbatim, but with doubled notes, in a rising sequence. So many references in this music!

So unbelievably good ... keep 'em coming please!
Please do more of these. it really helps my chamber music as a composer.
This is very interesting, i couldn't stop watching it!
Splendid. Schumann's music is as fascinating as it is beautiful. I love Mr. Adolphe's lectures
now I start to understand why wonderful month of may was SO intoxicating to me. fortunate enought to play op 47 (on viola) so many times. DG
Schumann the Mannerist!
Being sung by we know who, but who's on the piano? Lovely played
If you are referring to Ian Bostridge, he is probably accompanied by Julius Drake.
I do love these but can we get some different composers? Same old dudes over and over again.
Yeah same old great music over and over again.
