About

Following on from the single CD of Mahler's arrangements of Schumann's Symphonies 2 & 4 (475 8352), Riccardo Chailly returns with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra to complete the set.

All four Symphonies are now presented together in numerical order in a 2 CD set. The Gewandhausorchester Leipzig - under their Music Director Riccardo Chailly - bring generations of authentic ‘romantic’ style to performances of all four Schumann Symphonies.

These Symphonies, recorded in the wonderful acoustic of the Gewandhaus itself, include the revisions made by the composer Gustav Mahler – a lifelong supporter of Schumann and his symphonic writings. Since Chailly took charge at the Gewandhaus, the orchestra has received consistently excellent reviews for their playing and interpretations of the works of the great Romantic composers. In 2007, the Orchestra was invited for the first time to appear at the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall: the concert was sold out.

Timing:
CD1: 65.33
CD2: 54.42

Recorded: Aug, Sept, Oct 2006 & Feb, May, June 2007, Gewandhaus Leipzig
