Symphony no. 4 in D minor

Album by Robert Schumann & Philharmonia Orchestra & Guido Cantelli

Symphony No. 4 in D minor is the fourth symphony by German composer Robert Schumann, composed in 1841 and later revised in 1851. The work exemplifies early Romantic orchestral writing with a tightly integrated, through-composed structure that links its movements, dense harmonic language, formal experimentation and a darker, more turbulent orchestral palette, reflecting Schumann's approach to large-scale instrumental form following his earlier symphonic experiments.
First released: May 1954
