Schumann's Cello Concerto
Robert Schumann's Cello Concerto lay in a stack of papers, collecting dust, on the desk of the great 19th century violinist Joseph Joachim. It wasn't discovered until after Joachim's death. Now, you may wonder what a violinist was doing with Schumann's music. In today's show, the story of the many transformations of Schumann's Cello Concerto, and a performance by a violinist, from a concert in Australia.
