Andrew McGregor and Sarah Walker introduce a day of music from around Europe celebrating the 200th anniversary of Schumann's birth. Highlights include a performance of the composer's great song cycle Dichterliebe, Op 48, by Christoph Pregardien and Michael Gees, and a rare opportunity to hear highlights from the Szenen aus Goethes Faust. The Day also includes a series of postcards from Germany, as Sarah Walker visits the locations that played a key role in Schumann's life, from his birthplace in Zwickau to the asylum near Bonn where he was incarcerated for the last two and a half years of his life, via Leipzig, Dresden and Dusseldorf.
