This 2CD set is the first Australian recording of the complete Schumann symphonies. Performed by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Chief Conductor Sebastian Lang-Lessing, this double album presents Schumann’s rich orchestral colours and striking poetic visions with a tender intimacy.
Honeymoon bliss, the freshness of spring, the mystic solemnity of a medieval cathedral, the struggle against depression, the triumph of light over darkness – Schumann’s inexhaustible musical imagination spins these images into glowing lyrical threads, weaving symphonies of magical beauty.
