Rattle Conducts Schumann
A nostalgic classical night.
Sir Simon Rattle and the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, one of the world's leading period-instrument ensembles, dedicate a performance to the music of Robert Schumann. The program explores the constant conflict between joy and despair in the composer's work, featuring the overture from Genoveva and the optimistic Second Symphony. Isabelle Faust joins as the soloist for the enigmatic Violin Concerto, a work written just before Schumann's final mental collapse.
