About

The motto of this CD release of Schubert’s Symphonies nos. 3 and 7 might be “On to new horizons!” In general, this phrase has positive connotations, and it offers an apt description for the sparkling innovative force driving forward Symphony no.3 in D major. Here, Schubert is still in a state of experimentation characterized by youthful energy, having overcome the teething troubles which plagued the previous Symphonies nos. 1 and 2. Does the phrase, however, also apply to the completion of the score fragment of Symphony no.7 in E major? One has to admit that the answer is: yes and no. On the one hand, the slow introduction of the Seventh sounds like something perfectly new (and something newly perfect), on the other, there may have been reasons why Schubert, who impatiently began composing straight into the sketched-out score, left the symphony a mere skeleton. Even in a version completed by another hand, this work is worth exploring, as it builds a bridge from the carefree Symphony no.6 to Schubert’s late works, the “Unfinished” Symphony and the “Great” Symphony in C major. Two departures for new horizons – and they are two different horizons – are what we seek to document with this recording.
