"The 94-year-old elder statesman of classical music " (The New York Times) joins forces with the Gewandhausorchester for a Schubert program of Symphonies No. 8 ("Unfinished") and No. 9 ("The Great"), to be released just in time for his 95th birthday. The choice of repertoire for his late debut with Deutsche Grammophon was quickly made: Herbert Blomstedt, at 94, the world's "longest-serving" conductor and still one of the most vital, chose Franz Schubert's last two symphonies, the "Unfinished" in B minor and the "Great" in C major.Purchase the music (without talk) at:Schubert: Symphonies 8 and 9 (classicalsavings.com)Your purchase helps to support our show! Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by La Musica International Chamber Music Festival and Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!http://www.classicalsavings.com/donate.html [email protected] This album is broadcasted with the permission of Katlyn Morahan from Morahan Arts and Media. https://khedgecock.podomatic.com/rss2.xml
