Publisher's Synopsis
Sinfonien Nr. 1 und 5, hrsg. von Albrecht DürrThrough his symphonic oeuvre, Kalliwoda unmistakably pledged his allegiance to the classical legacy. His first symphony was even compared by contemporaries to Mozarts late symphonies. However, Kalliwoda also exerted an undeniable influence on the somewhat younger generation of romantic composers. Robert Schumann, upon hearing Kalliwodas Fifth Symphony in Leipzig in 1839/40, was filled with admiration for it and even incorporated a theme from Kalliwodas First Symphony sh Ortly thereafter into his D minor Symphony.
