Info zu Schubert: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 8

Nach der von der Kritik hochgelobten Einspielung von "Der Große" setzen das Scottish Chamber Orchestra und Dirigent Maxim Emelyanychev ihren Überblick über Franz Schuberts Orchestermusik mit den Sinfonien Nr. 5 und 8 fort. Während die schlanke Nr. 5 auf Mozart zurückblickt - sie wurde 1816 komponiert, dem Jahr, in dem Schubert die Kammermusik des Komponisten entdeckte -, ist die "unvollendete" Nr. 8 ein gewagter Vorstoß, der sich von Schuberts früheren Sinfonien entfernt. Das Programm schließt mit dem Rondo in A-Dur, D. 438, bei dem die Konzertmeistering des SCO, Stephanie Gonley, als Solo-Violinistin auftritt.
