Schumann: Symphony No. 4 in D minor, Op. 120

1. how you come across to it:
At work.

2. why this piece?
Schumann never gets connected to me. Just like how Brahms disconnected to me decade ago. German music isn't something that you will instantly like. But this piece ignites some more understanding -- in sound -- to the world of his. That is enlightening. Don't you think the beginning chord so Beethovenian?

3. (and...)
It's from an album of an orchestra next year. Wonderful playing -- and I know why they choose this in their album!
