Following the success of his Beethoven and Schubert recordings, Jordi Savall now presents his first album devoted to music of Robert Schumann and Anton Bruckner. Adopting historically informed performance practices, Le Concert des Nations casts light on a repertoire that has been unfairly forgotten. Starting with Robert Schumann’s Zwickauer Symphony, the period instrument orchestra reveals new colors and ardor. The Symphony No.2, “Annuliert” (“Canceled”) by Bruckner on the manuscript, also fascinated Savall with its spiritual dimension, which he restores with his customary attention to detail.
