Daniel Barenboim's 80th birthday in 2022 was attended by various reissues of his work, great and small, but listeners have shown a commendable ability to see through the marketing by putting this new set of Schumann symphonies, recorded live in 2021, on classical best-seller lists. This is the third time Barenboim has recorded the Schumann symphonies, and while this reading with his well-honed Staatskapelle Berlin is not cut from fundamentally different cloth than the earlier ones, it is delicate to a perhaps unprecedented degree. Barenboim, maybe more than any other conductor, realizes that lightness is the key to these works, as much as in Schumann's songs, and that the crucial small details emerge if they are given room to do so. Each symphony is thought out as an independent unit. Consider the Symphony No. 1 in B flat major, Op. 38, where Barenboim offers an end-heavy reading and makes a powerful case for it. The lightness of the first two movements is marvelous. In the Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, Op. 97 ("Rhenish"), Barenboim makes clear the immense influence this work had on the second half of the 19th century with its fusion of sonata form and programmatic imagery; his reading flows (so to speak) just beautifully. Deutsche Grammophon's live sound is another draw in a Schumann set for the ages. Bravo, Maestro!
