Schubert is at his most buoyant and delightful in his ‘Trout’ Quintet, one of his best works. By adding a double bass to the piano quartet, he not only underpinned his rhythms with a bounce, but liberated the cello as a lyric tenor: no one before or since has matched his achievement with these forces. A spacious opening unfolds into a breezy divert...
Schubert’s early symphonies are breezy and Classical, barely hinting at the indelible voice of the mature composer. In the ‘Unfinished,’ though, he takes up where Beethoven left off in the ‘Pastoral’Symphony, opening out visionary new vistas that will lead to the great Romantic symphonies. Though only two complete movements remain (both, oddly, in ...
The poet Wilhelm Müller’s cycle of poems about a lovelorn apprentice and the fair maid at the mill is, on the surface, a traditional tale of unrequited love. With its springtime optimism fusing with the flowing stream and the rhythms of the turning mill and the young lover’s beating heart, this cycle contains music of vital loveliness. And yet, Sch...
All Schubert’s quartets are exceptional, from the achingly beautiful Rosamunde to the short, sharp, one-movement Quartettsatz. But perhaps none achieve the absolute marriage of song and chamber music as Death And The Maiden – a work that opens with killer blows and never lets up. The heart-breaking variations are on his song-setting of these chilli...
These delightful piano works make for a good first encounter with Schubert. Immaculately proportioned, brilliantly characterized, and contrasted, they appear to be an effortless outpouring of pure genius. From the first melancholy march in C minor, which melts into song, to the irresistible moto perpetuo in E flat, to the somber dances in F minor (...
If Schubert broke new ground in his ‘Unfinished’ symphony, in the almost hour-long ‘Great,’ he created a large-scale symphony of sustained power. Incredibly, it only came to light in 1839 when his brother Ferdinand Schubert gave it to Schumann, who promptly took it back to Leipzig, where Mendelssohn conducted the first performance – and even then, ...
This Quintet has been featured on Desert Island Discsmore than all other works of chamber music, perhaps because it seems to be a distillation of what it means to be human. Written in the last months of Schubert’s life, it glides into being as if it had always been there, heaven-sent. No sooner than its radiant double cello melody is unfurled, a sh...
This has become one of Schubert’s best-loved chamber works, with its intensely beautiful slow movement and sense of Beethovenian grandeur and heft. It opens with an epic ‘Andante’ in which a song-like question is transformed by a response in the major. The slow movement features the famous, long-breathed Swedish folksong ‘See, The Sun is Sinking,’ ...
Schubert never lived long enough to hear his last piano sonata performed, but we shouldn’t forget that he wrote this celestial meditation as a young man of 30, unaware of quite how close he was to death (from typhoid, and possibly the effects of syphilis). It was Schumann who recognized that the ‘heavenly length’ of these late works was no composit...
Schubert was correcting proofs of his extraordinary Winter Journeyon his deathbed. And what a journey it is. The poet Müller’s ‘wanderer’ is modern man, locked in icy isolation and tormented by the memory of love, with nothing before him but death or the loss of reason. Schubert’s friend Joseph von Spaun recalled how Schubert introduced them: “I wi...
