About

This 2 Hybrid SACD set of Schumann’s Symphonies 1-4 is performed by the most ideal interpreters; the Robert-Schumann-Philharmonie under avid Schumann explorer and enthusiast Frank Beermann.

For this unique collection, Frank Beermann engaged in a renewed reading of the scores using an edition by Joachim Draheim. His aim was to produce an authentic recording; conducting the score just as Schumann had written it down and not having an interpretive opinion.

Awards and reviews

December 2010

Beermann's interpretations are intense, hugely committed and quite full-on...Lots to enjoy in these very strong, upbeat performances

December 2010

in addition to keeping a low calorie count Beermann manages to retain the sweet centre that is such as essential ingredient in all four works...The high-point of Beermann's Second is the Scherzo, where the excitingly fast tempi never sound hard-driven and where the Trios are well integrated, tempo-wise, into the rest of the movement.
