Schubert's 'Tragic'

Giovanni Antonini conducts the SWR Symphony Orchestra in Schubert's Symphony no.4.

Giovanni Antonini conducts the SWR Symphony Orchestra in Schubert's Symphony no.4.

Presented by Penny Gore.

Dramatic and powerful, Franz Schubert's Symphony no.4 has acquired the not-inappropriate nickname "Tragic", a nickname belied by the joyous playing of one of Germany's great broadcast orchestras. There's also one of Vaughan Williams' most eloquent vocal works performed by one of the UK's most eloquent vocal soloists, and a jazzy, exuberant work by 20th-century Czech composer Jan Novak.
