There are
many composers about whom
it is believed, today,
that they composed
conservatively, or
against the taste of
their time. The question
is also raised, today,
which extract of this
large amount of effective
and high-quality music,
unknown for the most
part, should receive our
attention; which of it is
worth rediscovering or
re-editing. Camillo
Schumann is one of the
most important
representatives of these
composers, but his works
are still largely unknown
today. He was born on 10
March 1872 in Konigstein,
Saxony. His musical
language combines the
sound world of Brahms
with the grand,
late-romantic Liszt
School. He wrote piano
parts of incredible power
and virtuosity,
approaching the sounds of
Rachmaninoff. His
wonderfully individual
melodic language makes
these works a valuable
testimony to a composer
who never had his due
recognition. The cello
sonatas Opp. 59 (EB
32082) and 99 (EB 32083)
are the first of three
works for this
combination. Op. 59 was
composed around 1905/06,
Op. 99 followed in 1932.
Nothing is known so far
of the circumstances of
the composition of this
work, including for whom
it was composed. However,
it is quite evident that
Schumann wrote it, like
most of his works,
primarily for his own
concerts and befriended
musicians. The extensive
entries in the piano part
bear witness to a
considerably practical
approach. Crossed-out
bars, notes added or
crossed out in chords as
well as a number of
revisions of other kinds
are more the rule than
the exception. The
composer's own fingerings
written in the piano part
also underline this
assumption. The present
edition contains two
solo-parts each. One
clean Urtext-part free of
any additions from the
editor and a second one
with bowing marks and
fingerings by Maria
Kliegel who recorded both
sonatas for the first
time with the label
Naxos. Both sonatas show
evident resemblance to
the works of this
combination by Johannes
Brahms and are therefore
a must have for ambitious
cellists.

Reynaldo Hahn:
Works for cello and piano
[AL 30 749] For quite
some time, posterity
remembered Reynaldo Hahn
(1874-1947) for just a
handful of songs and the
operetta Ciboulette,
overlooking the
incredible diversity of a
catalogue as eclectic as
it is appealing. Yet his
chamber music contains
many little-known
treasures: thus, cellist
Steven Isserlis, in his
preface, hastens to hail
the first modern edition
of these two scores,
which he regularly plays
in recital, so much does
their beauty enchant the
audience. Published in
1911, the Two
Improvisations on Irish
Airs for cello and piano
turn out to be the
transcription of his
first and third Preludes
for piano four hands
(1894). These folk themes
come from the collection
Songs of Old Ireland,
published 12 years
earlier by Charles
Villiers Stanford:
gracefully and tenderly,
The Little Red Lark
unfurls a melancholic
tune of which the regular
foundation respects the
breadth of phrase typical
of folk songs; in The
Willow-Tree, the lover
begs his beloved in vain
to take him in her arms
one last time before he
lies down, lifeless, in
the shade of the tree.
Beyond this sensitive
exploration of the Irish
soul, Hahn offers us a
journey into the past:
the Variations chantantes
sur un air ancien develop
a theme borrowed from
Cavalli?s opera Xerse. In
this aria (1660 version:
Act IV, sc. 6),
Ambassador Periarco
dreams of moving away
from court intrigues to
be able to taste the
pleasures ?to which the
gods have destined him?.
Reynaldo Hahn?s
variations succeed in
maintaining the sweet
simplicity of this theme,
as noble as it is
refined. Let us wager
that this publication
will delight cellists and
pianists alike: it
contains some nuggets.
