  3. Symphony No 3 in E flat, 'Rhenish' - Robert Schumann

Swensen and Kirshbaum – two long-time SCO favourites – return for a delightful evening of music-making. Kirshbaum first recorded the Barber concerto with the SCO back in the 1980s, and it is still one of the top recommended recordings. It has plenty of Barber’s warm mellow lyricism about it, but a good bit of spark and punch too. Schumann’s ‘Rhenish’ was actually his last symphony. It is often mentioned in the same breath as Beethoven’s Fifth, and Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique.

Come expecting heroics and full-blooded Romanticism, delivered with Swensen’s signature passion and sweep.
