Schubert: Symphony No. 8 Unfinished | Iván Fischer & Budapest Festival Orchestra

 


2,024,604 views  Apr 23, 2022  #FranzSchubert #symphony #BudapestFestivalOrchestra

Unfinished and yet the most famous: Symphony in B minor “Unfinished” by Franz Schubert performed by the Budapest Festival Orchestra (BFO) conducted by Iván Fischer. The concert took place on February 28, 2014 at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall in Budapest.


(00:00) I. Allegro moderato

(15:00) II. Andante con moto

Franz Schubert (1797 - 1828) had already composed six complete symphonies by 1820, all of which were successors to the works of the great classical symphonists Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. It was followed by symphony drafts which Schubert then abandoned. Only from the third draft did he complete two movements in 1822, including orchestration. Of a third movement – the Scherzo – only a few bars exist. Although the two completed movements of this B minor symphony have gone down in history as “Unfinished,” they appear to be self-contained. No wonder, therefore, did Schubert send it as a symphony to the Steiermärkischer Musikverein in Graz in 1823, which had appointed him an honorary member. It is possible that Schubert himself was convinced of the completed character of the two symphonic movements. Beginning in 1825, he again worked on a four-movement symphony, later known as the “Great Symphony in C Major”. Judging by the order in which they were written, the “Unfinished” symphony would have to be considered Schubert’s 7th symphony, and the “Great” his 8th. However, in his complete published works, Schubert’s symphonies were numbered according to the order in which they were found and first performed, so that it has become customary to refer to the “Great Symphony in C major” (D 944) as the seventh and the “Unfinished” (D 759) as Symphony No. 8 in B minor. In more recent sources, the reverse numbering is occasionally found.

The Symphony in B minor was not premiered until 1865, after Schubert had already been dead for 37 years. Even the premiere was a sensational success, and to this day the “Unfinished” is an absolute favorite with audiences. It is considered the first “Romantic” symphony ever because it contains much that is musically new. Its opening alone, with the mysterious and almost threatening ascending and descending melody in the low strings, builds up a tension that is maintained until the end of the two movements. Both movements are similar not only in tempo but also in structure. Somber, ominous passages are followed by sultry, homely ländler, which in turn break off abruptly, so that positive melodic lines always prove deceptive. Although the second movement seems more optimistic overall, the thematic blocks always take unexpected turns. But still, the symphony fragment ends in a kind of chorale in which the conflicting themes are reconciled.

Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 analyzed by Ukrainian star conductor Oksana Lyniv

Beethoven's 9th Symphony is a significant milestone in music history and symbolizes culture and humanity. The famous final chorus with the "Ode to Joy" represents peace and international understanding. Ukrainian conductor Oksana Lyniv deeply connects with Beethoven's symphony and has conducted the Ninth many times. One particularly moving performance was with the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, which took place the day after the Russian attack on Kyiv and Kharkiv in February 2022. The conductor finds the 4th movement especially poignant due to the lyrics written by the German poet Friedrich Schiller. When she hears the verse "All people become brothers," it reminds her that the world is still far from being peaceful. You can watch Oksana Lyniv's personal analysis of Beethoven's masterpiece.

Oksana Lyniv, born in 1978 in the Ukrainian city of Brody, showed early interest in music, studying piano, flute, violin, and singing during her youth. She began her formal training in flute and conducting at the Liudkevych State Music College in Lviv in 1992 and later pursued her conducting studies at the Lviv National Music Academy from 1996 to 2003. In 2004, she won 3rd prize in the Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, which brought her international recognition. In 2005, Lyniv worked with the orchestra as Principal Conductor Jonathan Nott's assistant. She continued her studies at Musikhochschule Dresden ("Carl Maria von Weber" College of Music) from 2005 to 2009 and took part in a master class with Ekkehard Klemm in 2007. 

Between 2008 and 2013, she served as Deputy Chief Conductor at the Odesa National Opera.

Subsequently, she held the position of chief conductor of the Graz Opera and the Graz Philharmonic Orchestra until 2020.

In 2016, she founded the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine (YsOU) and serves as its principal conductor. The orchestra frequently performs on prestigious international stages.
