About

Jean-Jacques Kantorow and the Tapiola Sinfonietta revisit Weber, focusing on works by the young composer  written before the fame that his opera Der Freischütz would bring.

The two symphonies – the only works in the genre that Weber composed – were written in the space of six weeks, around New Year 1808, while Weber was staying at the court of the Count of Württemberg-Öls in Carlsruhe (nowadays Pokój in Poland). The symphonies also bear witness to the period of transition from classicism to romanticism, particularly in terms of orchestral colour.
