The work is not an opera, nor is it an oratorio, a cantata or a choral symphony. Indeed, Robert Schumann's "Scenes from Goethe's Faust" is very hard to categorize. The professional world has recently re-appraised the "Faust Scenes" as one of Schumann's major works, and this BR-KLASSIK recording reflects today's increased interest in a piece considered by the composer himself to be among his best. At the helm of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks is the outstanding English conductor Daniel Harding, and with the "Faust Scenes" he presents a large-scale masterpiece that traces Goethe's complex and highly philosophical literary work in a loose sequence of musical scenes. In the last decade of his life in particular, Schumann repeatedly fathomed the possibilities of music-dramatic and vocal-symphonic composition. In his "Genoveva", "Manfred," "Requiem for Mignon" and also the "Faust Scenes" he goes beyond the opera, oratorio and cantata and treads entirely new musical ground. The development process for the work lasted over a decade, and Schumann only finally completed it in 1853 shortly before the sudden deterioration in his health. With its lyrical and dramatic movements, Schumann's creation spans the story from Gretchen to Faust's death, and on to the mysterious transfiguration and redemption of the final Chorus mysticus. The part of Faust is sung by outstanding baritone Christian Gerhaher. He is joined by Christiane Karg as Gretchen and other internationally renowned soloists, together with the Chamber Choir of Augsburg Cathedral Boys' Choir and the Bavarian Radio Choir.
