Scenes from Schumann

Composer: Robin Holloway
Performers: 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales
Conductor: Grant Llewellyn
Recording date: 16 February 2000
Date of broadcast: 01 July 2001

This catapulted Holloway to the head of the queue of young British composers in the 70s. Holloway cleverly re-imagines 7 of Schumann鈥檚 greatest songs transcribing them for orchestra with a twist. The tunes are there, but distorted. Definitely worth a listen.
