Raff completed the score of Die Eifersüchtigen (‘The Jealous Ones’) a few weeks before his death. He wrote the libretto himself and was scrupulous in differentiating his characters through their music and adopting a precise formal construction. With tight organisational control, a strong grasp of musical and dramatic relationships, and speech melodies based entirely on German prosody, Raff’s final opera is marked by clarity, concision and economy of means.

D'enregistrement en enregistrement, la pianiste Claire Désert poursuit son exploration de l’œuvre de Schumann. Centré autour du genre de la variation, ce nouvel opus dévoile les multiples et insaisissables humeurs, tel un carnet intime du compositeur. D’un hommage à Beethoven jusqu’aux ultimes variations composées juste avant de plonger dans le Rhin, c’est tout le Romantisme, ses brisures et ses idéaux, que chante le piano de Schumann.

Muzio Clementi achieved early success as a widely-travelled pianist, performing for nobility and meeting Mozart, his journeys reflected in the Melodies of Different Nations. The Sonata in A flat major is his earliest surviving work, and the incomplete Allegro and Finale may have been intended as part of the famous Gradus ad Parnassum (Naxos 8572325-8). Based on a popular dance form, the delightful Monferrinas reveal Clementi’s charming side, each one presenting a uniquely interesting character.
