Schubert's Unfinished Business
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Franz Schubert left a wealth of unpublished music lying around when he died at the early age of 31. People were still discovering his masterpieces some thirty years afterwards. Tonight we'll hear one such brilliant work, the famous "Unfinished" Symphony No. 8; Nikolaus Harnencourt leads the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.
Leonard Bernstein conducts the New York Phil in his friend Aaron Copland's ballet for Martha Graham, "Appalachian Spring"; we'll also hear one of Haydn's piano sonatas much as he would have heard it himself (on the fortepiano, that is). Later on, it's two different version of the "Bourgeous Gentilhomme" Suit: one from Jean-Baptiste Lully and a more recent version by Richard Strauss.
