Symphony no. 9 in C major / Symphony no. 8 in B minor "Unfinished"

Album by Franz Schubert & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Charles Munch

Symphony No. 9 in C major and Symphony No. 8 in B minor, the 'Unfinished', are orchestral symphonies by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1828 and 1822 respectively. The Ninth is expansive with large-scale sonata structures and richly coloured orchestration that point towards Romantic symphonic practice, while the 'Unfinished' comprises two extant movements noted for their intimate, melancholic melodies and innovative harmonic turns, and both works occupy important positions in Schubert's output and the transition from late Classical to early Romantic style.
