Symphonies no. 1 & 3

Album by Robert Schumann & Orchestre des Champs‐Élysées & Philippe Herreweghe

Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3 are orchestral compositions by Robert Schumann, first composed in 1841 and 1850 respectively. They exemplify Romantic-era orchestral writing with lyrical melodies, inventive harmonies and vivid orchestral colour, and they mark key points in Schumann's career as symphonic statements that bridge his early expressive energy and his later, more mature orchestral approach.
First released: 2007
