Symphonie No. 3 / »Manfred«-Ouvertüre

Album by Robert Schumann & Los Angeles Philharmonic & Carlo Maria Giulini

Symphonie No. 3 / "Manfred"-Ouvertüre is a recording of works by Robert Schumann, composed in 1850 and 1848 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Romantic orchestral writing, with the Symphonie No. 3 notable for its expansive, chorale-infused movements evoking the Rhineland and the "Manfred" Overture displaying dramatic, programme-driven gestures, together illustrating Schumann's mature engagement with large-scale symphonic form in the mid-19th century.
