Composer of the Week: Schubert

on BBC Radio 3

lain Burnside looks at the public and private faces of Schubert. This fourth programme features the fantasy based on Schubert's love song Sei Mir Gegrusst , a choral setting of Goethe's contemplation of water as the medium linking heaven and earth in the eternal cycle of nature, and a village comedy of errors about identical twin brothers who return from 18 years' service with the French Foreign Legion.
