In this second volume of Spohr's symphonies, Howard Shelley and the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana continue their exploration of this enjoyable and little-known repertoire. Symphony No 4 was quickly acclaimed as the composer's symphonic masterpiece after its first performance. Symphony No 5 is a deeply felt work, pouring out pent-up emotions from dramatic events in the composer's life at the time of writing with real expressive power.

Tracks:

Overture 'Das befreite Deutschland' WoO64
Symphony No 4 in F major 'Die Weihe der Töne' Op 86 Symphony No 5 in C minor Op 102
