I can't believe that, in 65 years of concert-going, LPs, CDs, etc., I've never heard this deeply moving score.... Wagner should have listened to this, rather than (criticizing) Genoveva. Thanks very much for posting....
Schumann 'Scenes from Goethe's Faust' is a terrific complex, dynamic and delightful composition. The epic story is relived in one's imagination with the beautiful musical melody of a full orchestration and an appealing chorus and masterful soloists. Monumental assemble and a great conductor, it is awe-inspiring in quality.
This is an extremely moving performance! The music is so beautiful!! I'm studying the piece and this is my preferred performance to study with. The tempi are just right, the choir spot on, the conductor is amazing, and the soloists all EXCELLENT singing musicians! Bravo!
Tolle Aufnahme eines unterschätzten Meisterwerks. Die 3. Abteilung hat folgende Anfänge: 1. 1:08:20 Waldung, sie schwankt heran 2. 1:10:45 Ewiger Wonnebrand, glühendes Liebesband 3. 1:12:25 Wie Felsen-Abgrund mir zu Füßen 4. 1:17:50 Gerettet ist das edle Glied 5. 1:27:43 Hier ist die Aussicht frei 6. 1:32:04 Dir, der Unberührbaren 7. 1:39:22 Alles Vergängliche ist nur ein Gleichnis
How is Schumann underrated? He is one of the greatest Romantic composers. By "underrated" you mean his face should be on coins and learning his music be compulsory at schools?
@@wilhelmkyrieleis2165 I think he means works such as Faust are rarely performed and do deserve far greater attention. Many don`t "get" Schumann including professional musicians
Eine Sternstunde des großartigen Werks! Bernius und sein Ensemble dürfen als REFERENZ gelten , noch vor BRITTEN und HARNONCOURT! MARCEL BRION war wohl einer der Ersten , der die GENIALITÄT der FAUSTSZENEN literarisch beschrieben hat!!!! Aber auch CHRISTIAN GERHAER hat das Verdienst sich immer wieder für das vernachlässigte Werk -mit tiefen Einsichten- zu begeistern! RÜDIGER SAUL , MAINZ
Yeah I was watching the movie “song of love” with Katharine Hepburn and Paul muni. In the scene where Schumann collapses and is led off the stage, he is conducting this work, probably the “chorus mysticus.” It was lovely, but it was new to me, too. I’ve certainly heard a lot of music and made not a little, but it was a stranger to me.
Herr Wagner--I hope you are listening. He was, as a score reader. The ultimate difference in the music is the difference in the men: Schumann, noble, honorable, generous; Wagner, every opposite.
Dear listeners,… in part two of this beautiful music,… ‘dr Marianus’ (make it to a song) and then it is te most beautiful son ever made,… it is (as a whole) the most beautiful music ever composed,…❗️

Interesting and Wagner did not catch up to Genoveva until Tristan..thanks to Genoveva.

This is a beautiful performance of an unjustly neglected masterpiece. Highly recommended.
1:27:40 one of the most beautiful things in all music.

35:10 is such a great Schumannesque harmony
Esta es una de las obras maestras de Shumann, talvez un tanto desdeñada: bella presentación, desde el marco gótico precioso! Gracias!

Oui, chef d'œuvre sous-estimé à la capture sonore insuffisante par rapport à la prestation raffinée.
Schumann is underrated.

Better or more important than most people believe.

Underated as an opera (one) and oratorio composer.@@wilhelmkyrieleis2165

Mahler was quite obviously influenced by this in part 2 of his 8th Symphony.
