Schumanns Klang-Salon IV: Stars der Niederrheinischen Musikfeste

In the organizer's words:

The music directors Johannes Schornstein from Elberfeld and Friedrich August Burgmüller from Düsseldorf are responsible for the Lower Rhine Music Festival. They were held for the first time in 1818 and soon attracted international attention.
After local bourgeois beginnings, international stars were increasingly attracted, and soon the lists of participants up to the last festival in 1958 read like a who's who of conductors, singers and instrumentalists from all over Europe. Whether Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Robert Schumann, Jenny Lind or Fritz Kreisler: everyone wanted to be there, and even if it wasn't initially as a soloist, then (as in the case of Johannes Brahms) as a choral singer or just as an enthusiastic audience.

The Klang-Salon is a reminder of the stars and movers and shakers who helped shape the festivals and whose sonic legacy takes us far back into the 19th century. With recordings by Ferruccio Busoni, Aaltje Noordewier-Reddingius, Sigrid Onegin, Franz Wüllner, Leopold Auer and others.
