Symphonies Nos 1 & 2

Album by Robert Schumann & The Cleveland Orchestra & Christoph von Dohnányi

Symphonies Nos 1 & 2 are orchestral works by Robert Schumann, composed in 1841 and 1846. Rooted in early Romantic idioms, the scores feature lyrical melodies, contrasting dynamics and inventive orchestral colours, and they represent Schumann's principal contributions to the symphonic repertoire, marking his transition from piano and song-writing into large-scale orchestral composition.
