Symphony no. 2 / “Manfred” Overture / Konzertstück for 4 Horns

Album by Robert Schumann & Philharmonia Orchestra & Christian Thielemann

This is a compilation album of orchestral works by Robert Schumann, composed between 1844 and 1849. It pairs symphonic writing with a dramatic overture and a multi-horn concert piece, showcasing Schumann's Romantic orchestral language, his use of expansive forms and contrasting textures, and his advanced horn writing during a productive mid-to-late 1840s period in his career.
