Back to the Original
There are two versions of Robert Schumann's fourth symphony. There's the original version from 1841, which his young friend Johannes Brahms preferred. Then there was the revised version from 10 years later, that Schumann's wife Clara liked. When Schumann died, Johannes and Clara quarreled over which version to publish. Clara won. In this hour, we'll hear the original version that Brahms was partial to, performed by the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra.
