Classical Shades Into Romantic

BBC Music magazine cover disc ( now an occasional purchase ! ) Schumann Symphony No 1 "Spring" BBC Philharmonic conducted by Gianandrea Noseda. Schubert Symphony No 4 "Tragic" BBC Philharmonic conducted by Juanjo Mena. I already have a version of the Schumann but not the Schubert. The Schumann is live in concert, the Schubert a studio recording and better sound quality.
