{"product_id":"acdhj042-2-schumann","title":"Schumann","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe course of life of quite a few composers of the 19th century has a continuous appeal to people’s imagination. That also counts for Robert Schumann (Zwickau, 1810 – Endenich, 1856). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing the son of a bookseller, he has literary ambitions, but Schumann says about this: « how strange it is that I, there where my feelings prevail, I have to stop being a poet ». He interrupts his law studies (in Leipzig and Heidelberg) – a wish of his mother’s inspired by material concern – to start a career as a pianist. He takes lessons with Friedrich Wieck in Leipzig, one of the best but also most notorious piano teachers of that time. Before there can be talk of a pianist career, his right hand becomes partly paralysed (while studying he would have fixated his third finger to make the fourth more independent and powerful). In the meantime he has fallen madly in love with Clara Wieck, a celebrated piano player and the daughter of his teacher. Father Wieck implacably exercises his veto against their relationship, causing years of psychological warfare between them. In the end, only a legal procedure makes it possible for them to marry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchumann completely fails as a conductor. He constantly knows periods of restlessness, despair, dejection and heavy depressions. A suicide attempt – during the depths of winter, he jumps into the Rhine river in Düsseldorf – results in Schumann ending up in a psychiatric institution, where he dies two and a half years later.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aliud Records","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738989408580,"sku":"ACDHJ042-2-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738989441348,"sku":"ACDHJ042-2-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738989474116,"sku":"ACDHJ042-2-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738989506884,"sku":"ACDHJ042-2-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738989539652,"sku":"ACDHJ042-2-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308791144772,"sku":"ACDHJ042-2-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57335291511108,"sku":"ACDHJ042-2S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/ACDHJ042-2.jpg?v=1790143362","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/acdhj042-2-schumann","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
