Christopher Marshall introduces a performance of Liederkreis, Op 39, preceded by a song called Der Frohe Wandersmann (The Happy
Wanderer), which was originally planned as the first song in the cycle. The performers are Dietrich Fischer -Dieskau (baritone) and Christoph Eschenbach (piano). Another work which represents Schumann's second thoughts is the Symphony No 4 in D minor. Kurt Masur conducts the London Philharmonic in the original version, which was preferred by Schumann's friend Brahms. Repeated next Thursday 11.30pm
