Scenes from Schumann

Available for over a year

This catapulted Holloway to the head of the queue of young British composers in the 70s. Holloway cleverly re-imagines 7 of Schumann’s greatest songs transcribing them for orchestra with a twist. The tunes are there, but distorted. Definitely worth a listen. Composer: Robin Holloway Performers: BBC National Orchestra of Wales Conductor: Grant Llewellyn Recording date: 16 February 2000 Date of broadcast: 01 July 2001
