Howard Shelley and the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana conclude their survey of Spohr's symphonies with two that push the boundaries of the genre itself. Symphonies seven and nine are programmatic works, something that Spohr along with Berlioz did much to champion.

1.2 Transition to Spring: L'istesso Tempo
1.3 Spring: Moderato-Presto-Moderato
1.4 Part Two Summer: Largo
1.5 Introduction to Autumn: Allegro Vivace
1.6 Autumn: L'istesso Tempo
1.7 The World of Childhood: Introuzione: Adagio-Allegretto (Symphony No. 7 in C Major-The Earthly and Divine in Human Life)
1.8 The Age of Passion: Larghetto-Allegro Moderato
1.9 Final Victory of the Divine: Presto-Adagio
