Symphonies nos. 1 & 3
Album by Robert Schumann & Sir Neville Marriner & Academy of St Martin in the Fields
Symphonies nos. 1 and 3 are orchestral compositions by German composer Robert Schumann, composed in 1841 and 1850 respectively. They exemplify Romantic-era symphonic writing through song-like melodies, rich orchestration and expanded formal structures, with the earlier work tending towards a more intimate, pastoral character and the later piece displaying broader, civic and chorale-inflected gestures that mark Schumann's development as a symphonist.
First released: 1999
