Summary
Sir Simon Rattle conducts the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra in an all-Schumann programme at the Royal Albert Hall, featuring Isabelle Faust as soloist in the Violin Concerto.
Why it's fantastic
Sir Simon Rattle leads a period-instrument specialist ensemble through an evening dedicated entirely to the flickering, romantic spirit of Robert Schumann. Seeing Isabelle Faust navigate the composer’s haunting, late-career violin concerto provides a perfect entry point for those who enjoy music with an intense and deeply personal emotional core.
