Production details
Schumann left his first attempt at a symphony unfinished. After the two completed movements were unsuccessfully performed in his home town of Zwickau, he put it aside, and it was not heard again until the 1970s. But as recent performances and recordings show, it’s not just a curiosity - it’s a fine piece, full of attractive music. Scottish composer Anna Meredith hit the headlines with her work Froms, composed for the Last Night of the Proms, 2008. Since January 2010 she has been working with sinfonia ViVA as their Composer in the House which is a Royal Philharmonic Society and PRS for Music Foundation initiative.
