The complete edition of Robert Schumann’s symphonic works with the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne
under Heinz Holliger is now available as a 6 CD boxed set.
Alongside the Symphonies Nos 1-4, this edition comprises the D minor Symphony in the original version,
as well as the Symphony in G minor, “Zwickau”. In addition, there are the Overture, Scherzo & Finale, the
overtures (Manfred / Hermann and Dorothea / Genoveva / The Bride of Messina / Julius Caesar / Scenes from
Goethe’s Faust) and all solo works with orchestra: the Violin Concerto and the Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra
(Patricia Kopatchinskaja), the Cello Concerto (Oren Shevlin), the Piano Concerto (Dénes Varjon), the two
Konzertstücke for Piano (Alexander Lonquich) and the Konzertstück for Four Horns (horn section of the
WDR Symphony Orchestra).
This selection of works creates one of the most comprehensive recorded editions of Schumann’s symphonic works.
The Schumann specialist Heinz Holliger successfully proves, contrary to common preconceptions, Robert
Schumann’s great art of orchestral instrumentation.
All recordings remain available as single CD releases.
