With a lean string section not only in size, but also in its quality of playing the music just works. - Yannick Nezet-SeguinbrbrThe Canadian Maestro sees Schumann s music as rooted in the bipolar nature of the composer s troubled psyche, emphasizing dramatic shifts of temperament - not only between movements but even within a single phrase.brbrHe s one of those composers whose personality is completely expressed in their music...those fluctuations between the melancholy and something very inward-looking are combined with a very manic kind of energy that wants to conquer the world. That s what is so special about Schumann. - Yannick Nezet-SeguinbrbrThis new cycle includes the second, revised version of Schumann s second symphony, published as his Symphony No.4. brbrI try to respect whenever a composer makes a revision because he feels the need to, rather than because of any outside pressure. I m personally convinced that the symphony s message, and this feeling of one big movement, is better conveyed by the later version. - Yannick Nezet-SeguinbrbrThis set is Yannick Nézet-Séguin s first recording of a complete symphony cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 028947924371\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0028947924371\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42569140371715,"sku":"AN-8YKZ-1OHV","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51QvQRvhqdL.jpg?v=1647091407","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/schumann-symphonies-nos-1-4","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
