Robert Schumann: Symphony No. 1 "Spring" in B-flat major, op. 38 (1841)

[@fabiocastellotto8049]

Just got to listen to this post, in 2023, and the interpratation of J.E.Gardner just blew me away. Probably the first time I understood this Symphony and the young, just married, Robert Schumann....It feels like a Vivaldi Spring in the romantic period.

[@peter_kitsune]

The opening sounds so much like fantasy film music! Epic stuff!

Thank you I was looking for this!

[@georgey3372]

I believe you are correct just going from memory. Good observation!

[@mcrettable]

Wow i didn't know schumann was such a gifted orchestrator

[@jerchiury]

Maybe not so gifted in orchestration.....not at all. But a gifted composer.

[@ChristianP06]

@Teemu H. Indeed. Schumann also pushed the boundaries of the orchestra (at the time) with this work. Think of the triangle part in the first movement, the use of 3 timpani, and the soft trombone chorale at the end of the 2nd movement. Written in 1841! Schumann (and Brahms too) had a wonderful ear for the orchestral colour he wanted.

[@Musicrafter12]

@Teemu H. Brahms' orchestration is very technically adept, but lacks imagination in my opinion. His textures are very stocky and "utilitarian", I would say, and are utterly unremarkable. Schumann is for sure much more imaginative, even if his handling of the orchestra is sometimes a bit clumsy and heavy-handed.

[@ruramikael]

@@Musicrafter12 Some really thick textures in Brahms' symphonies, often woodwinds in thirds in four different octaves. But Schumann had some assistance from Mendelssohn in this symphony, this one has a much more differentiated orchestration than the third, which might be the most problematic one.

[@ludwigvanbeethoven61]

underrated this boy was. and Schubert overrated (in my opinion just another mozartian)

[@notaire2]

Wie fein und perfekt die erste Sinfonie von Schumann komponiert wurde! Alles ist klar auf dieser kompletten Gesamtpartitur!

[@calebhu6383]

You hear that motif in Schumann's 3rd symphony also. Brahms loved Schumann

[@KoreanWalker777]

Wow. Thank you for uploading!

[@connormonday]

Gardiner always has a thrilling interpretation.

[@erika6651]

This feels rushed to me, as though Gardiner truly wasn't interested in the music.

Can you do Symphony No. 3 “Rhenish” by Schumann as well please?

[@mateuspereira9288]

I genuinely thought there was already a version with the score!

[@thechosenone3197]

JLeightcap had a perfectly good version but his channel was taken down. ☹️

[@mateuspereira9288]

@@thechosenone3197 I'm currently working on another Schumann upload, but I'll do the 3rd too. Can you remember the recording?

[@thechosenone3197]

Thanks. No unfortunately but I may be able to find out for you.

[@thechosenone3197]

I think it could have been the Staatskapelle Dresden with Wolfgang Sawallisch.

[@gamingmusicandjokesandabit1240]

The start of the 4th movement reminds me of the USSR anthem
