Schumann - Symphony No 1 (Spring)

About 15 years ago I bought a CD of songs by Schumann thinking they were by Schubert (I think they had got into the wrong rack in the shop - this was when people bought records in shops). When I got home I realised the mistake, and just put the disk away. I didn't play it until a couple of years ago, and loved it. I decided to listen to as much Schumann as I could - but, as with most things, I didn't get round to doing it.

I really loved this symphony. Obviously very Beethovenish, but with occasional foretastes of Wagner and Bruckner.
