Symphonien Nos. 2 & 3 "Rhenish"

Album by Robert Schumann & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Kurt Masur

Symphonien Nos. 2 & 3 "Rhenish" are symphonies by Robert Schumann, composed in 1846 and 1850 respectively. They exemplify mid-Romantic orchestral writing, combining richly textured orchestration, lyrical themes and contrapuntal development, and occupy an important place in Schumann's mature symphonic output as explorations of form and expressive colour.
First released: 1991
