Allusions to the year and its history are never far away in Steven Isserlis's new recital, 1851: Sonatas by Robert Schumann & Ignaz Moscheles. Whether in the date of composition of the principal works recorded (the Schumann being the second violin sonata in Isserlis's own arrangement), or the close-knit musical world of the Leipzig which produced them, or the Great Exhibition which took place in London's Hyde Park in 1851 and at which the Érard piano played by Connie Shih may well have been on display; this is an album which delights in uncovering coincidences and correspondences. And don't overlook the (irresistible) encore … unmissable.
