• 7:00 PM. Appointment

  The World of Robert Schumann

  Thirteen programmes in an epic series that has been over 20 years in the making. Host, John Tibbetts, recognized something in the music and in the man that "spoke" to him in special ways. Since it's inception in 1983 as a few programmes with narration and music, The World of Robert Schumann now includes dramatizations, interviews, critical comment and hundreds of musical excerpts

  (5) The Band of David

  Robert Schumann was one of the leading figures in 19th century music criticism and journalism. In his own music magazine he proclaimed and supported a whole generation of Romantic composers, including Chopin, Liszt, Berlioz, and Mendelssohn, and in his imagination, he gathered them all together in a mysterious league of musical revolutionaries he dubbed "The Band of David." Featured interviews include scholars Alan Walker, Leon Plantinga, Hugh Macdonald, Larry Todd, Eric Sams; critics Virgil Thomson, Jacques Barzun, Martin Bookspan; and musicians Leslie Howard and Charles Rosen (WFMT)
