Symphony no. 8 "Unfinished" / Symphony no. 5

Album by Franz Schubert & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Leonard Bernstein

Symphony No. 8 "Unfinished" and Symphony No. 5 are orchestral works by Franz Schubert, composed in 1822 and 1816 respectively. They display Schubert's move from Classical clarity toward early Romantic expressiveness, with the Unfinished characterised by its lyrical, fragmentary two-movement form and the Fifth by lighter, chamber-like orchestration and classical symmetry, together marking key stages in his symphonic development.
First released: 2nd April 2012
