In 1850, Robert Schumann was appointed Music Director of Düsseldorf. His move to the western part of Germany and visit to nearby Cologne with its impressive cathedral inspired his most joyful and effervescent symphony, nicknamed “Rhenish.” Reviewing Paavo Järvi’s recordings of Schumann’s complete symphonies, Gramophone effused that he “is always animated and alert to the music’s expressive potential.” Lyrical and rhythmically inventive, the symphony captures one of the happiest times for the Schumanns.
