When one thinks of Schumann, his piano works and Lieder come to mind, as well as the Piano and Cello Concertos and his symphonies. His chamber music has received rather less attention, although he showed himself particularly interested in experimentation in these works, both with regard to form and to instrumentation. With the present recording, OehmsClassics is proud to present a production with the young, up-and-coming violinist Iskandar Widjaja and the designated Principal Conductor of the Berlin Konzerthaus Orchestra, Christoph Eschenbach. Iskandar Widjaja is considered one of the most interesting violinists of the younger generation. The Inchversatility of his style, his musical presentation with highly varied tonal nuances and facets together with a flawless technique and enormous charismaInch (Mo. C. Eschenbach) are praised by colleagues as well as the media. Iskandar Widjaja plays the Stradivari InchWillemotteInch of 1734, on kind loan from Florian Leonhard, London, as well as a Stradivari replica by Scott Cao built in 2013. Album Tracks 1. Violin Sonata No. 2 2. Op. 121 3. Phantasie for Violin & Orchestra 4. Op. 131 5. Applause
