Franz Welser-Möst | Schubert 5

Programme

Franz Schubert
Symphony No. 5 B-flat major, D 485

Franz Schreker
Chamber symphony for 23 Solo Instruments

Franz Welser-Möst, Conductor

Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

Franz Welser-Möst has been a regular guest at the helm of the BRSO for more than three decades. In recent months he has joined forces with the orchestra at especially critical moments: the first performances after the death of Mariss Jansons in December 2019, and four concerts in July following the restart after the covid lockdown. Now he will present two symphonies that in turn mark historical turning points: Schubert’s bright, relaxed Fifth of 1816 was his final tribute to Mozart and classicism before venturing into the romanticism. And Franz Schreker’s Chamber Symphony, composed in Vienna exactly 100 years later, hovers in a fascinating way between tradition and modernism.
