Le 8 décembre 1991, la fin de l'URSS est proclamée par le biais d'un communiqué laconique. C'est la fin d'un État qui, vu d'Occident, a incarné tout au long du XXe siècle la figure de l'ennemi. La chute de l'URSS signifie aussi la fin d'un modèle politique et économique, le système communiste, et celle d'un bloc militaire, le Pacte de Varsovie.

Claudio Bohórquez and Péter Nagy are releasing a new album, dedicated to that composer par excellence, Robert Schumann, and his works for chamber duo. Performing a programme comprising works from the clarinet, oboe, viola and vocal repertoires, the two renowned soloists throw renewed light on some unknown facets of a famous composer.
The key focus of the album is a central work in the field of Lieder: Schumann's Dichterliebe. Bohórquez and Nagy lure their listeners on a journey through the innermost core of Romantic emotions.
Bohórquez has a highly interesting technique, sure to fascinate not just connoisseurs of Dichterliebe, of interpreting these songs without words with such a fine level of tonal nuance and such songful bowing that they never seem like wordless songs.
