The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, conducted by André de Ridder, performs Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 4 in D Minor — a masterpiece of Romantic innovation and emotional depth.

Though called his Fourth, this symphony was Schumann’s second, written in a burst of inspiration shortly after his First Symphony. Initially misunderstood for its structural daring and dark tone, Schumann later revised and re-orchestrated the work, transforming it into a powerful, cohesive symphonic journey.

Opening with a brooding introduction that blossoms into Romantic intensity, the symphony unfolds seamlessly through interlinked movements, weaving recurring motifs across its landscape — from the tender oboe and cello duet of the Romanze to the triumphant D major finale.
