The Four Symphonies

Album by Robert Schumann & Paul Kletzki & Israel Philharmonic Orchestra

The Four Symphonies are a set of four symphonies by the German composer Robert Schumann, composed between 1841 and 1851. They exemplify Romantic orchestral writing, combining lyrical melodies, rich harmonic language and varied orchestral colour, and they represent Schumann's principal symphonic contributions as he developed his style within the mid-19th-century symphonic tradition.
First released: 19th February 2021
