Die acht Symphonyn (Taschenpartituren)

Description

The recently completed series of symphonies in the New Schubert Edition is a milestone of modern scholarly-critical editing, lending these works a transparency lacking in earlier editions of a more romantic bent.

The eight symphonies, trace Schubert's artistic evolution from the First Symphony, which develops a theme from Beethoven's Eroica , to the Mozartean Fifth and the romanticism of the »Great« Eighth. Enclosed in a slipcase, this publication now gives conductors, students and all admirers of symphonic music an opportunity to purchase one of romantic music's towering achievements at an affordable price.

»The edition of Schubert's symphonies is now complete, and it is yet another sterling achievement on the part of Bärenreiter and the editors involved. I shall always use this edition when performing these famous symphonies .« (Sir Roger Norrington )
