"Schumanns sinfonisches Schaffen hat in letzter Zeit viele Neueinspielungen erlebt, doch der Holliger-Zyklus dürfte, wenn er beendet ist, einen der vorderen Ränge einnehmen." (Stereo)
"Oren Shevlin [...] plays with great delicacy and tenderness, affectionate beauty, thus giving the music an overwhelmingly intimate character." (Pizzicato)
Featuring the Cello Concerto and the second version of the D minor Symphony, this CD presents two major works from Schumann’s time as music director in Düsseldorf. In both works, the movements of the classical model merge into one another without interruption. This was inspired by his desire to utilise literary techniques in music. According to Schumann, this new form of musical eloquence did not require any literary programmes.
