Interview
Heinz Holliger in conversation with Götz Teutsch
Heinz Holliger conducts Schumann and Zimmermann
Heinz Holliger can look back on an impressive career not only as an oboist and composer but also as a conductor. In this concert from 2009, he offers an exciting double portrait of Robert Schumann and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. Both were able to combine innovation and musical exuberance, as Schumann’s Spring Symphony and Zimmermann’s ballet Alagoana demonstrate. The soloist for the concert is violinist Thomas Zehetmair.
