Summary
Jörg Widmann conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales at Hoddinott Hall in Schumann’s Symphony No. 3 and his own cantata featuring Jess Dandy and Amira Casar.
Why it's fantastic
Robert Schumann’s Rhenish symphony offers a warm, rolling opening that feels like a trip down the German countryside. The second half shifts into something far more visceral, as Jörg Widmann conducts his own large-scale choral work reflecting on the sharp, difficult realities of conflict through a modern lens.
