The Triumph of Optimism

Andrei Feher, conductor

Haydn: Symphony No. 28 in A major
Schumann: Symphony No. 2 in C major

Haydn’s buoyant Symphony No. 28 is full of interesting musical ideas, while a sense of life and affirmation is weaved into Schumann’s Symphony No. 2.  It’s full of the most positive elements of Romanticism, including a heroic opening movement and a triumphant finale.
