In "Loss & Love: Schubert · Schumann", cellist Adolfo Gutiérrez Arenas and pianist Josu De Solaun touch on two perennial themes that pervade all human lives. Ultimately, via the music of Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann, it is love that wins out, rendering this an album of catharsis and hope. Both composers understood these themes well, and treat them in this music, even obliquely, with sensitivity, passion, innocence and fervour; eloquently and exquisitely.
