Joachim Raff's symphonies present a synthesis of pure music and the programmatic elements of the neo-German school exemplified in the symphonic poems of Liszt. His eighth symphony from 1876, Frühlingsklänge, was followed in 1878 with his ninth, Im Sommer, forming a celebration of spring and summer that are part of a set that make up the four seasons. Both are written in an immediately attractive and approachable style, and scored for a relatively modest orchestra of Classical rather than Wagnerian dimensions.
Tracks:
Symphony No. 8 in A major, Op. 205 'Frü hlingsklänge'
Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 208 'Im Sommer'
('In Summer') (1878)
