When he approaches German Romantic works, his vast experience in early music research often plays a significant role; however, it is also important to remember that he first made his name as a choral conductor and that his most celebrated performances of Romantic works were, initially, choral pieces with “words.” This approach to music takes on particular significance in his interpretation of Schumann. Considering that Schumann—who for a long time wrote only piano pieces—went through a period of writing almost exclusively art songs before turning to symphonies, Helleweg’s approach could be described as the ideal accumulation of experience.\nHellewaeg has already recorded the complete Schumann symphonies for harmoniamundifrance; however, while that recording featured his own period-instrument ensemble, the Orchestre de la Champs-Élysées, this time he is conducting the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra (formerly the Royal Flanders Philharmonic Orchestra), an ensemble of modern instruments that incorporates period performance practices. Building on the trust forged through many years of collaboration—and stating that he “wishes to devote the time he has left to interpreting works that are meaningful to him”—Hellewaeg’s fresh take on Schumann is highly anticipated. Similarly, after recording the complete works on period instruments, it might be worthwhile to compare Gardiner’s interpretation—recorded anew with the London Symphony Orchestra as part of his Schumann cycle—while reflecting on the 21st-century image of Schumann shaped by period-instrument interpretations.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PHI (φ)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525300478241,"sku":"4589538746483","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538746483.jpg?v=1789730720","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538746483","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
