Composer's Artistic Vision

Schumann sought a 'sanctified realm' for art and religion, inspired by Goethe, believing an opera should edify before it entertains.

Interpretation

This recording uses 19th-century instruments, which, despite being less stable, are believed to better express the intimacy and volatility of Schumann's music.
