In February 2010 Norbert Burgmüller would be 200 years old. The legacy of this composer from Düsseldorf includes, in addition to the two symphonies recorded on the present CD, a piano sonata, 22 Lieder, and several smaller works. Robert Schumann described Burgmüller’s first symphony as “the most significant, noble work written in recent times.” Whereas in this symphony the models of the composer Beethoven, Weber and Spohr are clearly recognizable, the second, unfinished symphony [or at least it has been handed down unfinished], on the other hand, is a very original work. The recording by the Hofkapelle Stuttgart under Frieder Bernius is an impressive homage in honor of the200th birthday of the composer.
