Nicola Heywood Thomas presents Schumann Plus - a live series of concerts from St David's Hall, Cardiff, today featuring clarinettist Peter Cigleris and pianist Duncan Honeybourne

Nicola Heywood Thomas presents Schumann Plus, a series of concerts broadcast live from St David's Hall, Cardiff, focusing on the music of Robert Schumann, plus works by lesser-known composers including Doreen Carwithen, Henriëtte Bosmans, Ruth Gipps and Susan Spain-Dunk.

In the third concert this week broadcast live from St David’s Hall in Cardiff, clarinettist Peter Cigleris joins with the pianist Duncan Honeybourne to perform Schumann’s Fantasiestücke. Composed in 1849, it's one of the Hausmusik items Schumann wrote for home consumption, as a way of bringing his name before a wider public and also earning more money. Honeybourne continues with two works for solo piano, including Schumann’s lyrical Romance in F sharp, and a World Premiere of Susan Spain-Dunk’s set of two piano Preludes, composed in 1941 in Beaconsfield where she was temporarily staying to escape the London Blitz. Marking the centenary year of her birth, Cigleris returns to the platform to perform the Sonata for Clarinet by Ruth Gipps. The concert concludes with a tribute to the tradition of the klezmer clarinet, Sholem-alekhem, rov Feidman! by the Hungarian clarinettist Béla Kovács.
