Symphony No. 5 in B flat played by the BBC Scottish Orchestra : conductor, Guy Warrack
Schubert's Sympathy No. 5 in B flat, is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, and strings-no clarinets or trumpets, and it is m the usual four movements. It is probable that the composer made use only of the instruments that were available among his friends (the early symphonies were written specially for home entertainment), although these included, by the time. the Fifth Symphony was written, a number of good professional musicians who had joined the family circle.
