A wonderful "all Romantic" concerto conducted by Eugen Jochum in New York.

Schumann's Concerto is performed by Lorne Munroe, principal cellist for the Philadelphia Orchestra between 1951 and 1964 and principal cellist for the New York Philharmonic from 1964 through 1996: he was a featured soloist more than 150 times during the thirty-two seasons he played for the NYPO.

The solemn phrasing, the sense of continuous flow and the warm, deep calm interrupted by majestic ignitions in Brahms
it's something very special: not achieved at this level (IMHO) in the studio recordings that Jochum left us (DG & EMI),
despite his fleeting relationship with the NYPO: regrettably, he was a guest of the orchestra
only in march/april 1978, conducting three programs.
