Schumann’s Chamber Music I – Spring Festival in Tokyo 2025

A wonderful chamber music concert by young musicians. The second Schumann concert will be next weekend. All five musicians are highly regarded. Tsuda is one of my favourite young pianists. I was especially impressed by the superb virtuosity of Ueno’s cello and Murakami’s viola. I’ve heard Ueno many times since he was a student, but this was the first time I’d heard Murakami as a soloist. (He is also a member of the NHK SO.)
