Pablo Heras-Casado has partnered with violinist Isabelle Faust, cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras, pianist Alexander Melnikov, the Freiburger Barockorchester, and harmonia mundi to create a fantastic series albums of works by romantic composers including Mendelssohn and Schumann. “Die Neue Romantik” is truly a ‘living’ series, with additional albums and collaborations coming in the future.
“This is new music. This was new music and this should always be new music. In Isabelle Faust, Jean-Guihen Queyras and Alexander Melnikov you have performers who are coming from a different path. None of us have decided to remain in just one repertoire or one kind of approach. But we share this passion for the search of perfection, the search of the new in the old and always asking questions.” — Pablo Heras-Casado
