Robert Schumann is “still in the building!” His ground-breaking music is resounding, his agonizing illness is in progress. Hundreds of letters, dozens of archive files and a handful of memoirs help build the Zeitgeist against and within which the personal turmoil rises to hauntingly gigantic heights. It’s an astonishing feat, highly accomplished by all means – with Conductor Diaconu directing the orchestra and Dr. Pîrvu in charge of the autopsy-room. (Sanda-Maria Ardeleanu)
