Robert Schumann — Symphony No. 2 in C Major, Op. 61
Composed between 1845 and 1846, during a time of illness and melancholy, this symphony stands as a true hymn to resilience. From the dark tension of its introduction to the bounding energy of the scherzo, from the profound lyricism of the adagio to the triumphant finale, Schumann takes us on an intense and moving journey — a climb from shadow into light.
