Jan Vogler presents his 2nd recording of Schumann's Cello Concerto but this time, with his own orchestra, the Dresden Festival Orchestra, consisting of more than 50 members from Europe's most renowned early music ensembles. In addition to the concerto, the orchestra plays Schumann's Second Symphony. The repertoire presented here connects the Dresden Music Festival and its orchestra to the productive Dresden period of Schumann's work since both works were composed during that time. The Second Symphony was written between December, 1845 and October, 1846 in Dresden, the Cello Concerto immediately followed after he had left the city.
