Summary
Jörg Widmann conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in Robert Schumann’s Third Symphony and his own Cantata in tempore belli at Brangwyn Hall, featuring Jess Dandy and Amira Casar.
Why it's fantastic
Schumann’s symphony opens with a rush of optimistic energy inspired by the grandeur of the Rhineland. After the interval, the mood shifts as Jörg Widmann leads his own powerful reflection on conflict, blending voices and instruments to explore how we find a sense of humanity during periods of global unrest.
