Sinfonien Nr. 2 & Nr.3

Album by Robert Schumann & SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden‐Baden und Freiburg & Michael Gielen

Sinfonien Nr. 2 & Nr. 3 are the second and third symphonies by German composer Robert Schumann, completed in 1846 and 1850 respectively. Both symphonies exemplify Romantic orchestral writing, with rich harmonic language, expansive melodies and varied orchestral colour, and they mark an important phase in Schumann's career as he broadened his output from piano and chamber music into large-scale orchestral forms.
First released: 2010
