Four symphonies were enough for Robert Schumann to leave his mark. Without allowing himself to be overawed by Beethoven's shadow, he succeeded from the outset in coining a highly personal idiom, with an astonishing combination of formal rigour and freedom of inspiration.
Pablo Heras-Casado and the Münchner Philharmoniker offer their interpretation of this corpus, more mysterious than it appears, which tells of its composer's passionate and tormented soul.
"He plants his personality upon each symphony not via interpretative extremes but through the simple expedient of ensuring they are heard as clearly and plainly as possible." - Gramophone
"Pablo Heras-Casado's performance of the 'Spring' Symphony is fresh and exhilarating with moments of warmth and tenderness, but also with that nervous, slightly edgy quality which marks out Schumann's music even when he's at his most determinedly affirmative" BBC Music
