Symphonies 1 & 2

Album by Robert Schumann & Stavanger Symfoniorkester & Jan Willem de Vriend

Symphonies 1 & 2 are orchestral works by German composer Robert Schumann, composed in 1841 and 1846 respectively. They exemplify early Romantic orchestral writing, combining lyrical melodies, rich harmonic language and vivid orchestral colour, and occupy a key position in Schumann's career as he extended his output from piano and song into large-scale symphonic form.
