Symphony No. 8, "Grosse C-Dur Sinfonie"

Album by Franz Schubert & Sinfonieorchester Basel & Dennis Russell Davies

Symphony No. 8, Grosse C-Dur Sinfonie, is a symphony by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1825–1828. The work features expansive orchestration, long-breathed lyrical melodies and large-scale thematic development characteristic of early Romantic symphonic writing, and it represents a central part of Schubert's mature orchestral output as he expanded Classical forms toward greater breadth and harmonic colour.
First released: 18th November 2013
