Schumann's Piano Trio No 1 in D minor with Allyson Devenish
Despite his failure to become a concert pianist, due to injuring his fingers, many of Schumann's very greatest works involve the piano. The brooding, and stormy D minor Piano Trio came from Schumann's 鈥榯ime of gloomy moods鈥�. But it contains one of his most heart-rending slow movements. It is the work's centre of gravity with its aching dissonances and high-arching phrases. It is a quintessentially Romantic chamber piece, and has been recorded by many stellar piano trios.
