Desc: Schumann: Twin Spirits: Directed by John Caird. With Iain Burnside, Derek Jacobi, Simon Keenlyside, Sergej Krylov. Twin Spirits is a unique and intimate, live theatrical performance by a chamber ensemble of actors, singers and musicians, portraying the deep and ultimately tragic love between the composer Robert Schumann and his pianist wife Clara Wieck. In this intensely moving performance of words, song and music, the Schumanns' long separation, so formative an influence on their lives, is reflected in the division of the ensemble into male and female groups.
