8. Sinfoniekonzert: Verbundenheit

Robert Schumann's violin concerto is characterized by turbulent emotions. This gives the music an incredible appeal. The composer himself was never granted the opportunity to experience the impressive effect of his work, as the concerto was not premiered until many decades after his early death. He was thus fatefully linked to his role model Franz Schubert: Schumann himself had initiated the premiere of Schubert's so-called "Great" Symphony in C major - unfortunately long after the composer's death. With its profundity and heartfelt, radiant sounds, Schubert's symphony became an innovative inspiration for Romantic composers such as Robert Schumann.
