Disc No: OC 708 |
The cycle of symphonies by Robert Schumann Polish conductor Stanislaw Skrowaczewski and the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken Kaiserslautern undertook to perform to much praise, is now nearing completion: After the Symphonies No. 1 and 4, which were published by OehmsClassics in the previous year, we may now enjoy the Symphonies No. 2 and 3 as well. Written in 1845/46, the Symphony No. 2 is an example of versatile aesthetic points of view. In terms of formal structure, the work presents a classical piece of music, while the contrapuntal elements are reminiscent of Johann Sebastian Bach.
