Swedish Co/Dausgaard - Franz Schubert: The Symphonies

It was only after his death that Franz Schubert�s symphonic works made an impact in music history. In fact, the first public performance of any of Schubert�s symphonies took place at a memorial concert held a few weeks after the composer had passed away, on 19th November 1828. The work that was heard at that occasion was Symphony No.6, D589, the �Little C major�, while the two undisputed master works of the series � the �Great C major� and the �Unfinished� � had to wait until 1838 and 1865, respectively, before being performed.
