Composer of the Week

Robert Schumann (1810-1856), Of Stars and Angels

Donald Macleod in 'Of Stars and Angels' discovers whether Schumann could stomach a move to Dusseldorf with its neighbouring mental asylum. And he reveals the heart-breaking conclusion to Schumann's story - surely the most pitiful passing of any composer - incarcerated in an asylum.
