Tchaikovsky’s rarely heard, gripping “Symphonic Ballad” about a voivode, based on poems from Polish and Russian national romanticism, is followed by pieces that are particularly close to the heart of Herbert Schuch, whose career once began in Salzburg. A wonderfully melodic and profound Impromptu by Franz Schubert leads into one of the great Romantic piano concertos, that of Robert Schumann, who also created resonant poetry with this work.

Featuring opening remarks by Benjamin Schmid, Hans Graf, and Herbert Schuch
