Schumann: Violin Concertos / Phantastic

Schumann: Violin Concertos / Phantastic

Hyperion presents the thirteenth volume in their ongoing Romantic Violin Concerto series. Although more often featuring virtuoso showpieces by the composer - violinists of the nineteenth century, this collection also highlights works of great musical interest which for one reason or another have not entered the standard repertoire. The present disc collects all of the works for violin and orchestra by Robert Schumann. Although the composer's concertos for piano and cello are among of the most beloved works in classical music, none of these works for violin has enjoyed the same success. That result will be surprising to the listener after hearing them played here by violinist Anthony Marwood in performances brimming with panache and brilliance. Included are the Violin Concerto in D minor, the Phantasie and the Violin Concerto in A minor (an arrangement of the cello concerto). Marwood is accompanied by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Douglas Boyd.
