John Shea continues BBC Radio 3's celebration of The Spirit of Schubert with a selection of songs on the themes of flowers, nature, water, fishing and the night. Plus the opera Der Graf von Gleichen which Schubert worked on during the last two years of his life. He left sketches for 26 numbers all together, but in 1997 the Styriarte festival commissioned Richard Dunser to complete the work as we'll hear tonight.
