× Disc VI explores the human imagination, beginning with Robert Schumann’s Märchenbilder, an account of a child’s fanciful daydreams. The contrasting The Masque of the Red Death follows; it is a chilling setting of Edgar Allan Poe’s tale of a foolish prince who attempts to avoid the plague, represented as a dark character who follows him in the shadows. The disc concludes with Ernest Chausson’s rousing, colorful, and evocative Concerto for Violin, Piano, and String Quartet.
