Symphonie Nr. 1 "Frühling" / Klavierkonzert

Album by Robert Schumann & Wiener Philharmoniker & Leonard Bernstein & Justus Frantz

This album is a recording of two major works by Robert Schumann: his Symphony No. 1, composed in 1841, and his Piano Concerto, composed in 1845. The pairing contrasts the symphony's buoyant, pastoral orchestral textures and expansive romantic themes with the concerto's lyrical pianism and conversational interplay between soloist and orchestra, illustrating Schumann's development in melodic invention and orchestral colour during his mid-19th-century career.
First released: 1985
