"Recording of the Month ... enormously invigorating and brilliantly executed performances ..."
- BBC Music Magazine
"... lucid and beautifully balanced ... really hits the spot."
- Sinfini Music
"... I like the way these live performances have been engineered and it is refreshing that applause has been removed ..."

This performance was recorded live in November 2012 at Paris's Cité de la Musique. For the first time, Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the complete cycle of Schumann's four symphonies and delivers a fresh new interpretation that inspires the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. Nézet-Séguin challenges the traditional approach to Schumann’s symphonies with a smaller ensemble, emphasizing the dramatic changes of the works.
