This second symphony begins with a jovial and lively Allegro. Two movements follow (Larghetto Cantabile and Menuetto Allegreto) where the lyricism, grace and sublime delicacy are astonishing. The piece ends with full of strength and joy. Muzio is a fabulous musician and is not known as his value justified. The orchestra and direction are fantastic. Viva Muzio and his glorious and amazing music. Thanks for the magnificent recording that gave us moments of real pleasure.

One of the best kept secrets in classical music: Clementi's four marvelous symphonies. They should be mainstays in the concert hall. Muzio Clementi btw outlived Mozart, Haydn, Schubert and Salieri.

[@Gr8bugz1991]

I do believe that the indicated times for each movement are in the wrong spots. Other than that this is a fantastic high-quality upload of a great symphony. Well done. :)

Anyone knows the year of composition of this symphony?

[@andrewhcit]

1819-1822. It was begun in 1819, and apparently at least one movement was performed in 1819, but the full symphony was not finished until 1822. What we hear today is partially a 20th century reconstruction by Alfredo Casella. The symphony was not published during Clementi's life. Two incomplete autograph copies exist, one in London and one in Washington, DC, each missing different portions. Casella combined the two and filled in the gaps where pages were missing from both copies.

@@hannah_mcgarden Thank you! I am so pleased to have this music posted to listen to, but as a visual artist I was offended there was no image credit given in the description.
