Robert Schumann - Symphony no. 4 Op. 120 (1851) (+sheet music)

Robert Schumann - Symphony no. 4 in D MInor, Opus 120 (1851)

Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting the Staatskapelle Dresden (1973)

------------------

This version, according to Clara Schumann, this was the only completed version of the symphony. It was sketched in 1841 and orchestrated 10 years later, in 1851. However, Johannes Brahms discovered that the 1841 'sketch' was actually orchestrated, but it's lighter in orchestration and has minor differences than in the 1851 version. Robert Schumann apparently heavily revised the symphony in 1851. Despite Clara's objections to publishing the 1841 version, Brahms still published it.

The first movement has impeccable tension and release built into it.

The 1st movement is perhaps my favorite Schumann piece. Tragic, expressive, mysterious, exhilarating...those rhythms and one of the best brief codas you will ever hear. that feeling of suppressed excitement is something Schumann does better than anybody else...and then when it bursts out it's as thrilling as anything in Beethoven.

[gertrudajendrasiak]

Pierwsza symfonie, jest bardzo zrównoważona, trzecia piękna słodka, za to czwarta bardzo przewrotna, można odnieść wrażenie, że Schumann bawił się dźwiękami....śliczna, można słuchać na Wszystkie doskonałe

[unnamed_boi]

the introduction to the finale is probably one of the most epic introductions to a movement i have heard so far..

[Geiger]

I never cared much about Schumann's Symphonies but since I have a concert where we're playing the 4th soon, I am really starting to discover and like his symphonies

[neiltheblaze]

I love the tempo Sawallisch takes in the piece. He gives the music a sense of forward momentum that I really enjoy. So many conductors slow Schumann down in an effort to make him sound "profound and serious" but just end up sounding sludgy. This is wonderful.

C'est une des plus belles symphonies romantiques, et c'est une belle interprétation!!!

[aquisgranum]

Wolfgang Sawallisch + Staatskapelle Dresden sind die Nr. 1 für die Schumann-Sinfonien! Auch seine Interpretation der 8. Sinfonie von Franz Schubert ist fantastisch!

[Schubertd]

Sawallisch is such an excellent conductor. I was amazed by his conducting of Schubert and sure enough he delivers again with Schumann.

[edwardnah]

Sawallish's Schumann 4 is golden disk and monumental playing. It is very truthful in Schumann's score and played without much exaggerations. Nevertheless, this give great impressions to listener like me (classic fan - conductor for 50 years).

[FloraJoannaK]

Charming symphony. One of my favorites, and I can't put my finger on *why*. Weird.

Was für eine fantastische Interpretation!!!

[mosz]

Thank you so much for rendering this masterpiece, Raff Symphonies are also very euphonious !!

[k.b]

Brilliant ! Was für ein Meisterstück von Gefühl, Ausdruck und Dramatik ....Damals schon wegweisend und für mich bis Heute immer noch Aktuell .

[Janka]

Thank you! Beautiful piece and it's very helpful with the sheet music!

[zenarobinson]

the score is so very helpful for me after trying - unsuccessfully - to follow the bass trombone part! 🙂 thank you!
