Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2

Album by Robert Schumann & Gerard Schwarz & Seattle Symphony

Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 are two symphonies by German composer Robert Schumann, completed in 1841 and 1846 respectively. They combine Romantic lyricism with classical forms, featuring expansive melodies, rich harmonic language and varied orchestral colour that mark Schumann's development as a symphonist and his deepening engagement with large-scale orchestral writing.
