Symphony no. 1 / Overtures

Album by Robert Schumann & Svenska Kammarorkestern & Thomas Dausgaard

Symphony No. 1 / Overtures is a classical album of orchestral works by Robert Schumann, centred on his First Symphony composed in 1841 and paired with several overtures from his early Romantic period. The music displays hallmark Romantic orchestral traits — lyrical melodies, dramatic contrasts and colourful orchestration — and marks a key early transition in Schumann's career as he moved from piano and song composition to large-scale symphonic writing.
