Symphony Nr. 8 H-moll D 759 "Unvollendete" / Symphony Nr. 5 C-moll Op. 67

Album by Franz Schubert & Ludwig van Beethoven

Symphony No. 8 in B minor, D. 759 (the 'Unvollendete') and Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 are orchestral works by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1822 and 1816 respectively. The two symphonies contrast the composer's early Classical clarity and lighter orchestration in the Fifth with the Unfinished's broader Romantic gestures, expanded lyricism and more adventurous harmonic language, and together they illustrate a key stage in Schubert's development from Classical models towards the expressive scope of nineteenth-century symphonic writing.
