Beloved Clara Audiobook (Free)

The intense relationships between Robert Schumann, his wife Clara, and Johannes Brahms are taken to vivid lifestyle through music and excerpts using their passionate writings. With the arrival from the youthful, dynamic Brahms to their home, the Schumanns’ fragile marriage is normally threatened with the deepening connection between Clara and their gifted guest. “This is a beautifully put – together family portrait… Kleenex needed” says The Guardian (London).

Recorded before a live audience on the Skirball Cultural Centre, LA, in December 2008.
