About

This CD is devoted to music for violin and piano by Robert Schumann and includes the first two sonatas, Op.105 in A minor and Op.121 in D minor, alongside four song arrangements. The performers are the German violinist Lionel Roth, a protégé of Anne-Sophie Mutter, and the Argentinean pianist José Gallardo. Four beautiful song settings, three of which have been arranged by the artists themselves, make a unique addition to this disc.

Linus Roth studied music at the Music Academies of Zurich and Munich, during which time he received major support from Anne-Sophie Mutter and her Foundation. As a soloist he has performed with many of the greatest music ensembles around the world, including with the Orchestra of Stuttgart State Opera, Munich Chamber Orchestra, the Radio Orchestras of SWR and Berlin, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and the Vienna Chamber Philharmonic.

Argentinean pianist José Gallardo has won many national and international awards, and appeared at many major music events, including the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival, the Asiago Festival in Italy and the Rheingau Music Festival.
