Symphonies nos. 8 & 9
Album by Franz Schubert & The Cleveland Orchestra & Christoph von Dohnányi
Symphonies Nos. 8 and 9 are orchestral works by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1822 and 1826 respectively. They showcase Schubert's late-classical to early-Romantic idiom through expansive melodies, rich harmonic language and varied orchestration, with No. 8 notable for its concise two-movement form and No. 9 for its large-scale sonata structures that marked a move toward more ambitious symphonic writing in his career.
First released: 1994
