Cellist Josephine Knight champions Schumann’s Cello Concerto in its original form as a Concertstück, performed for the first time in a new edition based on the original manuscript in the composer’s hand. The recording marks the culmination of a ten-year mission including Knight’s discovery of the autograph score in the Biblioteka Jagiellońska in Kraków. A meticulously-reconstructed new edition by Knight, to be published by Edition Peters, reveals the work in its original form as Schumann intended.
The world premiere recording with conductor Martin Yates and the Royal Northern Sinfonia is available now on Dutton, and also includes two previously unrecorded cello works by Alfredo Piatti. Josephine Knight holds the Alfredo Piatti Chair at the Royal Academy of Music where she is Professor of Cello.
