“The first great innovator of the Romantic Age was Hector Berlioz, whose emotionally charged musical language still sounds daring today. Weber’s soulful and fantastical orchestrations gave symphonic music newfound boldness. And in the young dreamer Schumann, the Romantic movement discovered its most ardent protagonist.”
~ Maestro Christopher Wilkins
