Symphonies nos. 5, 8 & 9

Album by Franz Schubert & Berliner Philharmoniker & Karl Böhm

Symphonies nos. 5, 8 & 9 is a set of symphonies by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed between 1816 and 1826. The works range from the lighter Classical elegance of the Fifth to the expansive, harmonically adventurous textures of the Eighth and Ninth, showcasing lyrical, song-like melodies, rich wind writing and an increasing scale and complexity that bridge Classical forms and early Romantic orchestral expression.
