Sir Simon Rattle talks about Schumann’s symphonies Simon Rattle conducts Schumann and Prokofiev
In his First and Fourth symphonies, we see Robert Schumann at his happiest. In this concert with Simon Rattle from November 2013, the Fourth is heard in the seldom-performed original of 1841. Sergei Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 1, strongly inspired by the First Viennese School, is also a cheerful work. The soloist is Daishin Kashimoto, 1st concertmaster of the Berliner Philharmoniker.
