Symphony No. 1 / Manfred Overture

Album by Robert Schumann & Otto Klemperer & Philharmonia Orchestra

This album of orchestral works by Robert Schumann presents an early symphony alongside a dramatic concert overture, with the compositions dating from 1841 and 1848. Rooted in early Romantic orchestral style, the material combines lyrical, song-like melodies and clear classical forms with vivid harmonic colour and expressive orchestration, reflecting Schumann's emergence as a symphonic composer and his later interest in programme-driven, theatrical writing.
