Great C Major Symphony

Album by Franz Schubert & Josef Krips & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest

The Great C Major Symphony (Symphony No. 9 in C major) is a symphony by Franz Schubert, completed in 1828. The work is expansive in scale and orchestration, featuring broad lyrical themes, rich harmonic language and developmental writing characteristic of the late Classical and early Romantic periods, and it stands as one of Schubert's last major orchestral works that helped bridge Classical traditions and Romantic symphonic practice.
