Proms 51 on Radio ABC Classic FM

Eight years before he began his First Symphony in 1841, Schumann began an earlier one.

Swedish soprano Nina Stemme sings Berlioz's tender songs of love sought, found and lost, and her compatriot Albert Schnelzer pays tribute both to Haydn's playful character and to film director Tim Burton, born in the Californian city of Burbank.
