{"product_id":"schumann-41-51-5060189562572","title":"Schumann 41\/51","description":"The Bucharest Symphony and Principal Conductor John Axelrod present a unique recording of both versions of Schumann's 4th Symphony: the original version; composed and premiered in 1841 and published nearly 50 years later with the help of Johannes Brahms; and the revised 1851 version; completed three years before his untimely death; and defended and protected by his widow; Clara Schumann. The recording brings both side by side to show the different facets of Schumann's character; as he himself put it: 'Florestan the wild' and 'Eusebius the mild'. Principal Conductor of the Bucharest Symphony since 2022; John Axelrod explains that the focus of this project is to 'delve deeply into Robert Schumann's life; his love; and his long struggle with mental health. These two publications; one written during a manic creative year and the other in the depths of his emotional despair; provide for me the most telling representation of this radical romantic. I hope to share this musical discovery with my fellow musicians; our audience and listeners. Ultimately; we may learn something new about this extraordinary man.'","brand":"Orchid Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46314447405139,"sku":"2632249X","price":14.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4237965_5e43215c-9e22-407f-a96b-1e06b66b04ec.jpg?v=1789566705","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/schumann-41-51-5060189562572","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
