Carl Schuricht: Schumann symphony nr 3 Rheinische part1

Too fast.

If ever you find yourself playing this song...

Hope to God you don't play the second violin part. Your arms WILL hurt.

This piece is all kinds of awesome to me. :D

I just got into this orchestra and we played this piece. I played seconds and I couldn't believe how numb my arms were from all the tremelows and divded notes lol

Oh God yes, but all that energy certainly does bring an air of vigor to one's soul.

Even listening to it could bring such feelings.

And that is why Romantic Composers are my Favorite.

YEP! I just heard the symphony played on television and I immediatly thought: hey, they're playing the Willow-theme! Turned out it was Schumann... Hahaha Horner sure knows how to plagiarize!

Otterhouse, you did a good job of restoring this recording: no pops/clicks, skips, or hissing. Merci!

I AWARD THIS 3 1/2 CLARAS...as this has fine quality about it that much better than most,
communicates this fabulous rhetoric.The swellings they make in the quick turns of phrase and well as the finely honed individuated phrase dynamics make this feel
exciting-yet resigned,ominous-yet optimistic,
fierce-yet lyrical,adventurous-yet stationary.
This rhetoric is a strange alchemy and Schuricht knows the spells.

je ne pense pas que vous ayez reason (voir au desus)... mais votre style nous plait :)
(bien que notre propre francais soit quelque peux... manquant(?)
- oblige nous est de le admettre (alas) )

the tempo is just right, btw.
(so as you are - therefore)

the Objective measure being
that this piece has been played
to a german audience thousands
upon thousands of times as an intro to
the daily TV news-magazine "Drehscheibe".

I think THIS ONE performance (on TV that is) must be seen as the true gold-standard for the authentic playing of this piece (for BETTER or worse) now...

This is how culture works in our day and age, folks ;)

Its the in tro of "Hier und Heute" and "Zwischen Rhein und Weser"
