Info for Schumann
Taewook Ahn or the saxophone as embodiment of romantic aesthetics.
The sound of the saxophone is not commonly associated with romantic classical music. One could even think of Schumann's music as an awkward choice for the instrument; Taewook Ahn proves the opposite to be true, right from the first note of this album. What better vessel than the saxophone, indeed, could embody the intrinsical contradictions of romantic aesthetics? What could encapsulate the soul of the 19th century better than this elegant hybrid of wood and brass? More than a mere list of transcriptions, this album provides a rediscovery of some of the most iconic pages in romantic literature. Tomoyo Umemura, Taewook Ahn and Rainer Crosett bring unheard colors into some of Schumann's most intimate works, exposing the very fabric of its texture – with sensuality, playfulness and taste. A young, convincing, resolutely modern take on beautiful classics.
