The works of Schumann in his later piano music (ie d composed after his marriage to Clara Wieck) do not always known the favors musicologists, columnists, commentators and other "authorized". Yet these four symphonies (+ scherzo and finale opened) who occupied the musician for long periods are really beautiful and worthy of the great successes of the genre, it's my opinion at least. This recording 70s is beautiful and has not aged. The Dresden orchestra, beautifully taken here by the great Wolfgang Sawallisch, is clearly in a great day and gives us a version of these beautiful symphonies makes perfect justice to the great composer. Works to know absolutely and who will be many sources moments of musical happiness.
