New generation artist, Elisabeth Brauß's performance of Robert Schumann’s Carnaval in the 2024 Piano Series was so popular that she was instantly invited back. This time she plays his ‘Ghost Variations’, a work composed in the period immediately before his admission to the asylum for the insane. Schumann was suffering hallucinations, voices were playing music to him and allowing him, in his own words, ‘magnificent revelations’.
