Details

Part of the BBC Proms. Eight years before he began his First Symphony in 1841, Schumann began an earlier one. Thomas Dausgaard - who has recorded a complete Schumann cycle with his agile Swedish Chamber Orchestra - opens with its sprightly first movement and ends our Schumann bicentenary symphony cycle with the biggest and most stirring of the set. Swedish soprano Nina Stemme sings Berlioz's tender songs of love sought, found and lost, and her compatriot Albert Schnelzer pays tribute both to Haydn's playful character and to film director Tim Burton, born in the Californian city of Burbank. Finish time: approx. 21:40 with interval
