    Le mariage de Schumann avec Clara Wieck en 1840 eut pour effet de changer radicalement la nature de sa production créative. Avant 1840, il n’avait composé presque que pour le piano, pourtant, après son mariage, par comparaison, il n’écrivit guère pour son propre instrument. Clara écrivit dans son journal (1839) que son plus ‘grand désir’ était que Robert composât pour l’orchestre. Deux ans après (1841), les Schumann enfin installés dans un bonheur familial, la Symphonie « Le Printemps/Spring » était née. La première execution eut lieu à Leipzig le 31 mars 1841 sous la direction de Mendelssohn. Son exubérance, sa poésie et son originalité firent bonne impression. C’est pourquoi Schumann se lança immédiatement dans une autre oeuvre symphonique.
    La Symphonie No.2 en en Ut Majeur a toujours été un peu comme la Cendrillon des symphonies de Schumann, moins jouée que les trois autres. Mais bien qu’elle dévoile sans doute ses beautés plus lentement que ses compagnes, c’est un ouvrage d’une puissance irrésistible, dont la conception classique s’avère la plus imposante parmi les symphonies de Schumann. Peut-être l’apport le plus original et le plus important de Schumann à la forme symphonique fut-il sa technique de relation entre les thèmes et de métamorphose d’un mouvement à l’autre. Mais, plus révélateur encore, est l’art dont Schumann traite la mélodie de l’Adagio : poignante, troublante, elle est développée de manière approfondie dans des étoffes musicales d’une grave beauté puis, dans une transformation inspirée, elle réapparaît comme le second sujet du finale.
    En 1850, les Schumann quitte Dresde pour Düsseldorf où Robert est nommé directeur musicale de l’orchestre de la ville. Il aimait la Rhénanie depuis longtemps; aussi s’enflamma-t-il à l'idée de composer une symphonie qui célébrât cette région riche en associations légendaires et historiques. On peut dire que la Rhénane est la plus belle, sans doute la plus joyeuse et la plus spontanée des dernières oeuvres symphoniques de Schumann. Sa volonté descriptive initiale s’est élargie à cette correspondance essentielle entre la nature et l’âme romantique et c’est cette capacité poétique qui la fait si touchante.
    « Ma prochaine symphonie symphonie s’appellera ‘’Clara’’ et j’y peindrai son portrait au moyen de flûtes, de hautbois et de harpes ». Clara reçu en effet la partition de cette Symphonie en Ré mineur le 13 septembre 1841 pour son 22e anniversaire. Toutefois, Schumann la révisera et la réorchestrera quelque années plus tard et ce n’est qu’en 1851 qu’elle prendra sa forme définitive. Cette symphonie pour laquelle Schumann indiqua que les mouvements devaient être joué sans pause, est plus intense, plus troublante. Elle est d’une originalité révolutionnaire; presque tout le matériel s’y développe à partir des motifs annoncés dans la lente introduction.
    De toutes les intégrales parues jusqu’ici, celle de Sawallisch reste l’une des plus homogène, dynamique, fine, réussie et convaincante. Pas de pages mortes ou languissantes dans ce monument où l’orchestre de Dresde s’affirme comme un des meilleurs du monde. Il y a dans cette orchestre un scintillement naturel de la sonorité que Sawallisch sait utilisé pour donner un élan et une légèreté constante à cette intégrale.

    It was my great good fortune to have met and worked with Maestro Sawallisch at EMI. Invariably courteous and smiling, he was a gentleman, unassuming and, despite his international stature and reputation, a man without attitude. A man to respect. This shines through the remarkable recordings he made, of which the Schumann set is simply a delight, illustrating the musicality and understanding he brought to the podium. With many thanks for sharing this.

I am fortunate enough to own this set of CD, a most powerful, scintillating, thoroughly convincing, compelling authoritative interpretation of Robert Schumann's great 4 Symphonies, nothing comes this close. This historical recording have set a shining, if not everlasting highest standard for Schumann Symphonies. Every pieces are breathtakingly conducted to a perfection, an imaging of the scores are just so wonderful. Great milestone in the interpretation of Schumann's score which dwarfed all other maestros of his time. Listen to the majestic finale of Symphony No.2 when trumpets shout out triumphantly pointing towards the heaven accompanied by most grand beatings of the timpani, it is a tear-jerker. Bravo Maestro thank you so much for your great Music, may you rest in Heaven.

    I’ve never heard Schumann, with his huge enthusiasm and over-abundance of orchestral ideas, so finely executed by any orchestra. Sawallisch interprets Schumann in Schumann’s way, adhering strictly to the interestingly scrupulous dynamic markings for different parts in the symphonies, creating a sonically masterful experience!!

    Schumann no. 3 has amazing opening bars, the same can be said about Beethoven no. 5, Brahms no. 3 and 4 or Elgar no. 1. I don't think Schumann is as good as Brahms, but symphonies no. 3 and no. 2 are still very good and these are superb renditions. No. 3 is actually the best I have ever heard. It's phenomenal how it's balanced and the crescendos here and there are just perfectly judged.

      Yes the Karajan is a classic set. It divides opinion though. He is pretty much persona non grata these days. His conducting style & aesthetic approach to music being irrelevant. It's astonishing. And deeply ignorant. He was indulged & over recorded - but there are amongst his 200 or so a significant number of high quality recordings which have stood the test of time. And some that are definitive.

    1/2/3/4 are equally superior as like Brahms 1/2/3/4 and are very beautifully romantic. Swellfish's recordings of 1/2/3/4 may be the first class for several centuries till end of Classical music (?) because of clarities, straight forward interpretations, abundant romanticism inside, and passion for Spirits of Rhine.

    Obviously, Schumann had add-on musical ideas from the accumulations of Beethoven and Schubert and expressed different and add-on beauties of musical soul. I hope I will have chance to conduct all 4 Symphonies in the near future.

    I really think that Sawallisch's cycle is maybe the best in Schumann( at the same level very few others versions)

  • @mokaccino1
    @mokaccino1 5 років тому

    Effettivamente la musica proposta da sawallisch e` la piu`originale ancora oggi delle sinfonie di Schumann. Finora le avevo sempre paragonate a Beethoven e Brahms... Questa volta sono riuscito a ciogliere il loro aspetto originale senza alcun rapporto con i predecessori o successori del compositore.... Lo so`che probabilmente dico solo schiocchezze ma mi sembra di aver capito in questa versione quello che ci voleva dire il Maestro Schumann..... La forsa di espressione die questa versione e`diversa da quelle che avevo udito finora.....

      Grazie per il tuo commento. Sebbene fosse difficile per i compositori del tempo comporre dopo Beethoven, Schumann riuscì a decelerare la propria identità :-)

      Beethoven e` il musicista che ha iniziato la rivoluzione musicale che portera`alla musica moderna, per cui non ha una nazionalita`... diciamo che era "Europeo" e non solo tedesco. E`chiaro che la Rivoluzione Francese e soprattutto Napoleone hanno cambiato il modo di pernsare di tutti gli europei, fino in Russia, le persone si sentivano piu`liberi ed indipendenti (almeno ideologicamente....).
      Gli Italiani ed i Francesi hanno "cominciato" la storia della musica in Europa, soprattutto nel Rinascimento, i Tedeschi/Asutriaci/Ungheresi (o Germani....) l`hanno portata ai livelli piu`alti di espressione.... pero`Beethoven ha scritto nelle sue ultime opere (penso soprattutto alla la nona sinfonia....) una musica che deve ancora essere scritta..., che non e`mai piu`stata sviliuppata dopo di lui, ma da cui sono "partiti" tutti i suoi successori.
      In Schumann si sente anche la voglia di liberta`, la forza romantica di chi vuole cambiare qualcosa con la sua musica

    A personal view: I would rather hear a symphony by Schumann than his contemporaries on account of the pure joy of music making, the startling originality, and the spontaneous warmth of feeling that shines out. I admire and love the Brahms symphonies, but you are always aware of the work that went into them. Their impeccable good taste can become tiresome. Not so with Schumann.
