Israel Philharmonic Orchestra
Paul Kletzki conductor

MONO · RECORDED IN 1956 · NEW REMASTERING FROM ORIGINAL TAPES IN 196KHZ/24-BIT

The first complete Schumann symphony cycle on disc, this set was recorded in Tel Aviv in 1956 by one of the most highly respected conductors of the post-war period. Paul Kletzki (1900–1973) brings out the fundamental strangeness and feverish excitement of Schumann’s orchestral writing. His readings of these iconic works are key to understanding the path they have travelled towards the recognition they enjoy today.
