Review:

Nicolaus Harnoncourt's acclaimed 2008 performances of Schumann's rarely heard masterpiece Szenen aus Goethes Faust with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra were recorded live and edited for this exciting new release.  Harnoncourt's long association with the orchestra includes impressive opera productions and a great number of symphony concerts, including works by Haydn, Mozart, Schubert and Dvorak. Much of the repertoire Harnoncourt conducted with the Concertgebouw has been recorded and received many awards. Harnoncourt was appointed honorary guest conductor in 2002.
