{"product_id":"schubert-symphonies-vol-1-nos-3-5-8","title":"Schubert: Symphonies, Vol. 1 – Nos. 3, 5 \u0026 8","description":"Following a highly successful series ‘Mendelssohn in Birmingham’, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra with their former Chief Conductor Edward Gardner here presents the first volume in a new surround-sound series: Schubert Symphonies.This first volume comprises of three symphonies spanning across Schubert’s short productive composing life. His Symphony No. 3 (1815), with its extensive and evolving slow introduction modelled on late Haydn is followed by the culminating distillation of Schubertian classicism that is his ‘little’ Symphony No. 5 (1816). Scored for chamber orchestra, it tells of much more of an influence of Mozart, for whom Schubert seemed to have felt a special affinity with around this time. Completing the album is Schubert’s much more intense (with a turbulent first movement and serene second) Symphony No. 8 “unfinished” (1822), of which only the first two movements and a skeleton sketch of a third Scherzo movement were completed.","brand":"Chandos","offers":[{"title":"SACD","offer_id":49604802478360,"sku":"095115523421","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3855489.jpg?v=1777845704","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/schubert-symphonies-vol-1-nos-3-5-8","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
