Sinfonías nos. 2 & 4

Album by Robert Schumann & WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln & Hans Vonk & Berliner Philharmoniker & Klaus Tennstedt

Sinfonías nos. 2 & 4 are orchestral works by Robert Schumann, composed in 1846 and 1841 respectively. They exemplify Schumann's Romantic-era orchestral style, employing expansive, cyclic thematic development, rich orchestration and formal experimentation that reflect his evolving approach to symphonic structure in the mid-19th century and contribute to the period's symphonic repertoire.
First released: 1998
