Jan Vogler plays Schumann

Jan Vogler presents a revealing reading of Schumann’s Cello Concerto in A minor, Op. 129 with his own orchestra, the Dresden Festival Orchestra, that consists of more than 50 members from Eu­rope's most renowned early mu­sic ensembles, under the baton of its musical director Ivor Bolton. Exploring Schumann's "original sound", Jan Vogler plays on gut strings and the orchestra on period instruments. The concerto connects the Dresden Music Festival and its orchestra to the productive Dresden period of Schumann's work (1844-50) since Schumann composed the cello concerto immediately after he had left the city.
