Symphonie No. 3 "Rheinische" / Ouvertüre zu "Manfred"

Album by Robert Schumann & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Bernard Haitink

Symphonie No. 3 "Rheinische" and the Overture to "Manfred" are orchestral works by Robert Schumann, composed in 1850 and 1848 respectively. Musically rooted in the Romantic orchestral tradition, the symphony balances broad ceremonial brass statements with lyrical woodwind lines across an expansive structure that reflects Schumann's mature symphonic voice, while the overture is a dramatic, programme-driven piece that demonstrates his engagement with literary Romanticism and theatrical expression.
