This is a great Schumann 2nd. It is the first version of it I ever owned and I still love this febrile performance, which I think can stand up with dignity against any competitor. I loved this recording so much that I even provide complete scans. An effort that will undoubtedly earn me a place in heaven.

As someone said in a comment to Schumann's symphonies by Bernstein. There is never enough Schumann.

This is just for completeness's sake.
But also another great Schumann record.

Since Sank liked the previous endorsement so much...this recording DID NOT send me screaming like a crazy lunatic, BUT IT WOULD HAVE, if I had heard it this morning on my way to work.
In that case, I would have been in my car and wouldn't have gotten arrested for disturbing my fellow Muscovites who lead a much duller Schumannless life...
BUT, ALAS, TODAY IS NO WORKING DAY...

ENJOY!!

This recording sent me literally screaming like a crazy lunatic, when I heard it this morning on my way to work. Fortunately, I was in my car and didn't get arrested for disturbing my fellow Muscovites who lead a much duller Schumannless life...

ENJOY!!
