This album provides an intimate insight into Schumann's world through three highly symbolic works. The focus is on the original version of the Fourth Symphony from 1841, a rarely performed score whose transparency and almost chamber-music-like clarity are a far cry from the heaviness of the later revision and reveal a Schumann of impressive immediacy. The Cello Concerto and the Fantasy for Violin, the latter here in an idiomatic and expressive transcription for cello, both date from Schumann's last years in Düsseldorf and share an atmosphere of shifting moods and luminous shadows. Throughout the album, Alexander Rudin - both as conductor and solo cellist - together with Musica Viva creates a vivid, deeply human picture of Schumann's imaginative world and its fragile, radiant beauty.
