Karl Michael Komma 2. Konzert Für Klavier Und Orchester / Robert Schumann Sinfonie Nr.4

This release, catalogued as FSM 43 406 aud, was produced by the German label Audite in 1983. It highlights the work of contemporary composer Karl Michael Komma, specifically his Second Piano Concerto, alongside Robert Schumann's Symphony No. 4. The recording features the Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, led by conductor Samuel Friedmann, providing a window into the regional classical music scene in West Germany during the early 1980s.

The album serves as a document of the Audite label’s commitment to documenting both standard repertoire and lesser-known works by 20th-century composers. Karl Michael Komma, a prolific German composer whose career spanned much of the century, was known for a style that balanced traditional structural foundations with modern tonal shifts. This particular pairing contrasts his neoclassical sensibilities with the established Romantic architecture of Schumann, a common programming choice for ensembles looking to bridge historical eras for their audiences.
