Product Family | SCHUMANN The Symphonies / Barenboim

“Let’s face it: if Brahms had not existed, we would be much the poorer, but the history of music would have gone on more or less the same way. But Beethoven and Schumann made Wagner possible, and Mahler. Schumann was historically one of the most important composers of the nineteenth century.” – Daniel Barenboim

Four years on from the success of Maestro Barenboim’s complete Brahms Symphonies album, made with the Staatskapelle Berlin, he now presents a 2 CDs and 1 Blu-ray set of the four Schumann Symphonies, recorded live with the same orchestra at Berlin’s world-famous Philharmonie and Staatsoper.
