Twin Spirits [2 DVDs] - Naxos Deutschland

Twin Spirits is a unique and intimate, live theatrical performance by a chamber ensemble of actors, singers and instrumentalists, portraying the deep and ultimately tragic love between the composer Robert Scumann and his pianist wife Clara Wieck. In this intensely moving performance of words, song and instrumental music, the Schumanns' long separation, so formative an influence on their lives, is reflected in the division of the ensemble into male and female groups. The letters and lyrics are linked together by the narrator to complete the essential outline of the story.
