Symphonies: Symphony no. 4 "Tragic", D. 417 / Symphony in C (Grand Duo, D. 812, orch. Joachim)

Album by Franz Schubert & Failoni Kamarazenekar & Michael Halász

Symphonies: Symphony no. 4 'Tragic', D. 417 / Symphony in C (Grand Duo, D. 812, orchestral version) is a classical recording of orchestral works by Franz Schubert, with the Fourth Symphony composed in 1816 and the Grand Duo originally written for piano four-hands in 1824 and presented here in an orchestral guise. Both pieces exemplify Schubert's early-to-middle-period orchestral style, combining lyrical melodies and sudden harmonic turns with contrasts of chamber-like intimacy and full orchestral texture, the Fourth's minor-key drama contrasting with the expansiveness afforded by the orchestral Grand Duo and illustrating the composer's evolving approach to symphonic writing.

First released: November 1994
