The recording presented here is dedicated to the last two symphonies of
Franz Schubert’s earlier compositional period. Both are united by their
emergence in the atmosphere of the amateur orchestra founded by Otto
Hatwig, in which Franz played the viola, and his brother Ferdinand the
violin. This orchestra was a stroke of luck for the young Schubert, akin
to a laboratory where he could thoroughly test his compositions against
the works of composing contemporaries such as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven
and Méhul, and in real world conditions. Nevertheless, in their
compositional intent, the symphonies are so fundamentally different that
it is tempting to present these two dissimilar siblings on one CD. As
one of the city’s four symphony orchestras, the Munich Symphony is
strongly committed to Munich and its musical traditions. Kevin John
Edusei is one of today's most promising young conductors.
