Symphonies nos. 5, 8 "Unfinished" and 9 "Great"
Album by Franz Schubert & Philharmonia Cassovia & Johannes Wildner
Symphonies nos. 5, 8 and 9 by Franz Schubert are orchestral works composed between 1816 and 1826. They trace Schubert's progression from Classical clarity and chamber-like transparency towards a broader, more Romantic orchestral language characterised by long-breathed melodies, adventurous harmonies and increased structural scale that helped shape the early 19th-century symphonic repertoire.
First released: 1996
