Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken Kaiserslautern Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, Dirgent

Doyen Stanislaw Skrowaczewski once again proved that he has something new to contribute to the symphonic standard repertoire – even in the case of the most frequently played cycle of symphonies of all – Beethoven’s symphonies. And he continues in the same vain as he now turns to Robert Schumann’s symphonies: “This is an extraordinary release, distinguished in every way… these are remarkably arresting readings that give welcome and pointed freshness to familiar scores”, a the British International Record Review commented in their review of symphonies 1&4.
The recordings previously published separately are now available together in a boxed set.

“It is quite astonishing, and Stanislaw Skrowaczewski shows it just like Kurt Masur or Sir Charles Mackerras: the more some conductors advance in years, the younger their temperament seems to get. These Schumann symphonies show some excitingly fast music making, and a kind of vitality throughout, some internal fire, that other conductors may not even hope to achieve during their youth.” Pizzicato
