Robert Schumann. This Schumann symphony cycle is not a concert recording but is especially performed for the camera which is allowing more technical and creative freedom in visualizing the performances. The venue is a former industrial space on the harbour side in Bremen, the Pier2, which underlines the workshop atmosphere and the eagerness to experiment perfectly.
