Symphony No. 1 "Spring" / Symphony No. 4

Album by Robert Schumann & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Daniel Barenboim

Symphony No. 1 'Spring' and Symphony No. 4 are symphonic works by Robert Schumann, composed in 1841 (the First) and written in 1841 and revised in 1851 (the Fourth). Both exemplify Romantic orchestration and thematic lyricism, with the First reflecting Schumann's early buoyant orchestral voice and the Fourth showing a tighter, cyclical formal design after its revision.
First released: 16th October 2015
