SCHUMANN QUARTETT - Landscapes (Sealed) (CD)

Berlin Classics is proud to present the Schumann Quartet, winners of the BBC Music Magazine 2016 Newcomer award. “Landscapes” is a journey in sound to the roots of the Schumann Quartet, a foursome made up of the three brothers Erik, Ken and Mark Schumann and the viola player Liisa Randalu. Four very different works contribute their personal stories to form a magical whole. At the album’s hub is Arvo P?rt’s composition “Fratres”, meaning “brothers”. The Schumann Quartet rehearsed the work with P?rt in Viimsi in Estonia and recorded it there. The personal contact with the composer came through P?rt’s Estonian compatriot Liisa Randalu.
