Leader, Thomas Matthews
Conducted by Malcolm Sargent
From a Northern theatre
When Schubert died, his ' Unfinished ' Symphony, which had never been performed during his lifetime, lay hidden somewhere in the town of Gratz. Ultimately, after years of fruitless search, the manuscript was found.
Why it remained unfinished, or whether, indeed, the composer's ultimate intention was ever to finish it at all, can never be known. We do know, however, that it was the work of a new Schubert, a genius for the first time probing the remoter depths of a mature imagination.
