Schumann’s Manfred still has a small discography. The eighty-minute version of Carl Schuricht’s interpretation in 1952 remains, even today, a reference point, largely due to its uncommonly attractive audio quality. The second half of this release collects very rare pieces, especially notable are Volkmann’s, Pfitzner’s, and Delius’ symphonic works, that are here published for the first time as performed by the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus under the capable direction of Carl Schuricht.
