Concertgebouw, Large Hall, AmsterdamSchubert and Beethoven with Fray and Masur |
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Kurt Masur, Conductor David Fray, Piano |

| Concertgebouw, Large Hall, Amsterdam, Netherlands Wednesday 28-Apr-10 20:15 Schubert and Beethoven with Fray and Masur Musical mythology would have it that Schubert’s last complete symphony would come to be known as the ‘Ninth’, nicknamed the ‘Great’. Schumann discovered the work in Schubert’s personal effects and saw in it a magnificent swansong. Mahler would later study and revise the work, which he also felt the need to do for Schumann’s symphonies. But now we know better. The symphony was written during a relatively happy time in Schubert’s life and stylistically is not that far removed from the ‘classical’ symphonies of Mozart and Haydn. But it is indeed ‘great’.

| Royal Festival Hall, London, United Kingdom Friday 11-Feb-11 19:30 London Philharmonic Orchestra At home, on 31 May 1841, Clara Schumann noticed the sounds of her husband at work. 'Robert's spirit is very active', she wrote in her diary. 'I hear the D minor wildly sounding in the distance, so that I know already in advance, it is once again a work emerging from the bottom of his heart.' She was right. The work taking shape was the Fourth Symphony: a continuously flowing masterpiece of beauty and subtlety. What Clara couldn't have known was that Robert was, at that very moment, writing her into his symphony. In the delicately winding string and bassoon theme of the work's opening, he movingly and purposefully captures their unerring love. London Philharmonic Orchestra Louis Langrée, Conductor David Fray, Piano | ||
