Symphonien No. 2 & 3

Album by Robert Schumann & Staatskapelle Dresden & Wolfgang Sawallisch

Symphonien No. 2 & 3 is a recording of Robert Schumann's symphonies, originally composed in 1846 and 1850. Both works showcase Schumann's Romantic orchestral language, featuring expansive melodic writing, rich harmonic colour and renewed structural ambition, and they mark a pivotal phase in his mid-19th-century output as he refined his approach to large-scale orchestral forms.
First released: 1988
