Description:

[Classical Masters No. 9] A collection of definitive and long-selling recordings from Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). The analog recordings are the latest remastered recordings from analog masters at Abbey Road Studios and other overseas studios. The front cover uses the original overseas cover design. Commentary included. For Sawallisch, Schumann is his specialty. Savarisch's mastery of the prestigious orchestra brings the essence of Schumann to life in a performance that is sure to please the most seasoned of listeners. The youthfulness and fading of Schumann's works are expressed in the pellucid undulations of sound, and the sound is spun with great care.
