  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 its 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

Commentary by biographers Peter Ostwald, John Daverio, Alan Walker and Eric Sams; and scholars Margit McCorkie, John Macgregor and Albert Boime. Analyses of late works like the Cello Concerto by cellist Lynn Harrell, the Violin Concerto by violinist Thomas Zehetmair, Manfred by conductor Gerd Albrecht and the Geister Variations by Peter Frankl and Anton Kuerti. New findings on the Endenich papers of Dr Richarz by biographers Nancy Reich and John Daverio (WFMT)
