121. An unbearable lightness of being? Robert Schumann, Symphony no.4

Monday Jul 11, 2022
One of my favourite joyful but heavyweight quick fixes, Robert Schumann's original Symphony no.4 is an intense and inventive stream of consciousness full of light and life. It's a thrill. Shame Schumann didn't see it that way...
Listening time c35 minutes (podcast 10', music 25')
Music here: on Youtube, Spotify or Apple Music (Apple Music is a link to the first track only, sorry) played by the brilliant Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique (from London!) conductor, John Eliot Gardiner.
The later version of the symphony is out there too (earlier in the same youtube clip).
You can buy this recording as a download for less than £9 here. Be careful to get the right version!
