| Summary: | Schumann's Symphony No. 2 was written in 1845 while he was recovering from a breakdown. It contains an illustration of how his creative daemons, the heroic, high-spirited 'Florestan', and the brooding, poetic 'Eusebius', came into conflict in his music, with its combination of power and intimate lyricism. Focusing on the Second symphony, and featuring Simon Callow as Schumann, this film uses a dynamic interaction between rehearsal footage and dramatised sequences to give a penetrating insight into the composer's complex and fractured genius. |
