New Album - Schumann Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3
The album "Schumann Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3" is out today. Heinz Holliger presents two of Robert Schumann's most significant compositions. The Second Symphony in C major, Op. 61 and the Third Symphony in E-flat major, Op. 97, also known as the 'Rhenish', reveal Schumann in two very different expressive worlds: one rather sombre, emerging from a personal crisis, and the other luminous, inspired by impressions of the Rhineland. Holliger is particularly interested in the inner movement and structural logic of this music. Available now!
