Münchner Philharmoniker / Camilla Nylund / Philippe Jordan by Various, Ab (2022/2022), Dirigat Philippe Jordan, Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg, Deutschland

Robert Schumann and Richard Wagner didn't like each other very much. True, she met several times in Dresden. Nevertheless, one quarreled with the music of the other. What culminated in Wagner’s disparaging judgment: “I can’t understand how there can be Schumannians.” Wagner would have been even more at a loss if – as in the case of the Munich Philharmonic’s program – he had had to recognize that even a proven Wagner - can also be a rousing Schumann orchestra. Under the direction of Swiss guest conductor Philippe Jordan, the world-class Bavarian orchestra is now devoting itself to these two romantic antipodes – with Schumann's Third Symphony, which premiered in Düsseldorf in 1851, and scenes from Wagner's »Götterdämmerung«. And in the role of Brünnhilde, the celebrated Finnish Wagner siren Camilla Nylund can be experienced - who, by the way, is also a great interpreter of Schumann.
