Late in the 1840s, Schumann entered a chamber music phase. It was, it is said, motivated partly by financial reasons - creating a body of chamber works that could be played by talented amateurs in their own homes.
"Schumann played by such luminaries as Ashkenazy, Holliger and Brendel, culminating in a spellbinding account by Rostropovich and Britten of the five cello and piano pieces Op. 102." (BBC Music)
