Steven Isserlis is acclaimed around the world for his musicality and technique alike, and over the years has developed a special rapport with Australian audiences. Accompanying him on this tour is duo partner, Hungarian pianist, Dénes Varjon. Isserlis has selected a brilliant collection of music for an event unique to Musica Viva: a program consisting entirely of music by Robert Schumann. He is passionate about everything he plays, but reserves his greatest passion for this composer. In 2000, Isserlis was awarded the Schumann Prize by the City of Zwickau in Germany, the composer’s birthplace.
