Klavierkonzert Op. 54 / Konzertstück Op. 79

Album by Robert Schumann & Carl Maria von Weber & Alfred Brendel & London Symphony Orchestra & Claudio Abbado

Klavierkonzert Op. 54 / Konzertstück Op. 79 is a release of works by Robert Schumann, presenting his Piano Concerto Op. 54 (composed in 1845) together with the Konzertstück Op. 79 (composed in 1849). The pairing contrasts Schumann's expansive Romantic piano concerto—characterised by lyrical themes, virtuosic piano writing and close piano–orchestra dialogue—with a shorter, horn‑centred concert piece that emphasises bold brass colour and dramatic gestures, reflecting his mid-to-late Romantic style and marking notable facets of his orchestral and solo output.

First released: 1980
