Symphony No. 2 D. 125 and Symphony No. 4 D. 417

Schubert composed his first five symphonies while still a teenager, but they represent just one facet of his prodigious fluency. At this time some of his musical ideas bear a family resemblance to certain themes from Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven, but already his own musical character is evident. He began his Second Symphony in December 1814 and had finished it by March 24th of the following year. He completed the Fourth Symphony in about three to four weeks during April 1816. We should not read too much into the Fourth Symphony’s “Tragic” appendage, added by Schubert as an afterthought. It may be merely an example of the flippant comments which he wrote on some of his youthful scores, but nevertheless the symphony has more gravitas than its predecessors. Schubert also includes a second pair of horns to enrich the texture. Actually, this is the only piece of non-programmatic music to which he gave a descriptive title. After completing the symphonic cycles of Beethoven and Mendelssohn, Jan Willem de Vriend now undertakes Schubert’s complete symphonic output. This is the first volume in that series.

Positive Feedback

Rushton Paul

I love the lightness and liveliness that imbues their performance of Symphony No. 1—it so perfectly meets my expectations of what this symphony is about. To a great extent, I enjoy the first symphony most of all of Schubert's symphonies. There is something just exactly right that Schubert captures within it. And, it's fun. And de Vriend and company present all of this in the most enjoyable manner.
