Elisabeth Brauß was raised in Hannover, where she attended the prestigious Hochschule für Musik. Selected as a BBC New Generation Artist 2018-2021 she made her debut at the BBC Proms and performed widely around the country. She has been returning ever since.
Elisabeth often includes music by Robert Schumann in her programmes and her finale tonight is his Carnival-Jape from Vienna. Schumann was staying in the city, trying without any success to interest the Viennese publishers in his music journal.
It was a bleak time, he was homesick and missing his beloved Clara. Despite this, and allowing for some sections of great tenderness, it is the exuberant and mischievous spirit of Carnival that carries the day.
