Schubert: Symphony No. 8 Unfinished | Iván Fischer & Budapest Festival Orchestra

- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- Unfinished and yet the most famous: Symphony in B minor “Unfinished” by Franz Schubert performed by the Budapest Festival Orchestra (BFO) conducted by Iván Fischer. The concert took place on February 28, 2014 at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall in Budapest.
(00:00) I. Allegro moderato
(15:00) II. Andante con moto
Franz Schubert (1797 - 1828) had already composed six complete symphonies by 1820, all of which were successors to the works of the great classical symphonists Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. It was followed by symphony drafts which Schubert then abandoned. Only from the third draft did he complete two movements in 1822, including orchestration. Of a third movement - the Scherzo - only a few bars exist. Although the two completed movements of this B minor symphony have gone down in history as “Unfinished,” they appear to be self-contained. No wonder, therefore, did Schubert send it as a symphony to the Steiermärkischer Musikverein in Graz in 1823, which had appointed him an honorary member. It is possible that Schubert himself was convinced of the completed character of the two symphonic movements. Beginning in 1825, he again worked on a four-movement symphony, later known as the “Great Symphony in C Major”. Judging by the order in which they were written, the “Unfinished” symphony would have to be considered Schubert’s 7th symphony, and the “Great” his 8th. However, in his complete published works, Schubert’s symphonies were numbered according to the order in which they were found and first performed, so that it has become customary to refer to the “Great Symphony in C major” (D 944) as the seventh and the “Unfinished” (D 759) as Symphony No. 8 in B minor. In more recent sources, the reverse numbering is occasionally found.
The Symphony in B minor was not premiered until 1865, after Schubert had already been dead for 37 years. Even the premiere was a sensational success, and to this day the “Unfinished” is an absolute favorite with audiences. It is considered the first “Romantic” symphony ever because it contains much that is musically new. Its opening alone, with the mysterious and almost threatening ascending and descending melody in the low strings, builds up a tension that is maintained until the end of the two movements. Both movements are similar not only in tempo but also in structure. Somber, ominous passages are followed by sultry, homely ländler, which in turn break off abruptly, so that positive melodic lines always prove deceptive. Although the second movement seems more optimistic overall, the thematic blocks always take unexpected turns. But still, the symphony fragment ends in a kind of chorale in which the conflicting themes are reconciled.

All her life, our Mother, Livia Bally, (born August 3, 1927 Budapest, Hungary) wanted this played at her Memorial. Today her final wish was fulfilled. We played this. ❤
You must be a great musician! While I prefer the “The Great”, this one is very close.
This is one of the most beautiful symphonies ever written. The Budapest Festival Orchestra played it exquisitely.
Makes you wonder what a finished version would be like. Several musicologists have attempted to finish it but I don't know if Schubert would have appreciated their efforts. Schubert & Mozart both died far too young.
@@dbyers3897 That is true. The way the Second Movement ends has always left me with an anticipation for the Third Movement
@@dbyers3897 likewise
@@dbyers3897 some things are just better left untouched
Well thats right
32 years ago i tried tot finish my life with this music on the background.
Lucky for me People Found me in time and saved my life.
My life wasn't finished yet it seemed.
The rest of my life each time i listen tot this music all these emotions come back but i Know my life is still unfinished( i am 62 yrs now).
Thanks for sharing these very personal memories with us. Glad you're still here.
@@DWClassicalMusicthank you so much!
@@DWClassicalMusicSchubert must have saved my life because this music is to beautiful to forget in death
God bless you.
I'm gllad they saves you, I think i know how you must have feld at the time I suffer from depressions my whole life but its music like this that keeps me going on realizing live is beautifull and a gift as long as i can keep listening and learning there is a reason for living. Hope your well.
Schubert wrote such great and moving music. Life is an Unfinished Symphony.
Yes, yes, yes. Beautiful and poignant comment
I would love to hear his third and forth movements! The whole symphony would have been absolutely heartbreakingly heavenly! 😇😢😇🙏🙏🙏
I agree.
I'm not sure where I heard or read this, but sometime after his death , during an exceptionally harsh winter, a care taker of his personal belongings used some manuscripts which might have been the 3rd and 4th movements for firewood. Also why would he write a complete 9th symphony if the 8th wasn't completed? @@mcgdoc9546
Life is an unfinished symphony ❤❤❤
Not only a joy to listen to but what a pleasure to watch a maestro who knows the score completely and plays his orchestra sublimely well with absolutely no theatricals.
Right! No show boating.
show boating is good actually
오랬만에 미완성 을 들으니 감회가새롭네요!!! 좋아하는 크레식 음악을 매일 감상할수 있게해주셔서 고맙습니다 !!!
😊
@@user-ic3lm5ne5c yeh... This is probably most beautiful piece of music in human history.
I love the contrasting themes. He is never extremely dramatic but you feel the drama inside yourself. few notes and there is the drama surrounded by poetic themes that remain firmly in you mind a great genius. great interpretation great orchestra compliment
What can I say: SUBLIME ! Been listening to this for 65 years exactly.... and never tire of it. Sheer Genius.
Ich höre diese Sinfonie seit ca. 60 Jahren. Einen Tag vor Heiligabend erklang sie aus einem Lautsprecher von der Schallplatte vor einem Musikgeschäft. Da war ich 16 oder 17 Jahre alt. Ich blieb die ganze Zeit stehen und lauschte, konnte mich nicht losreißen, war wie verzaubert von der schönen Musik, die so gefühlvoll und wunderbar ist. Diese Erinnerung ist noch tief in meinem Herzen.
I played this symphony with my local youth orchestra probably around 5 years ago at this point. Sadly the orchestra suffered hard from the pandemic and ended up going defunct. This symphony brings me so much nostalgia for playing with them.
I am not a musician so I cannot appreciate the amount of talent it takes to perform at this level of perfection.
My enjoyment,apart from the music is watching so many different people in total unison without hesitation as they apply their craft,amazing.
I am more or lesss the same!
It is less talent and more years of work, blood, sweat, and tears to achieve something like this. It's really quite beautiful and fulfilling
Neither am I a musician nor can I read any composed music. I let my ear and my mind interpret the beautiful language of music.
Sounds finished
lol

A beautiful symphony played by a marvelous orchestra led by a magnificent conductor. A joy to experience. Thank you.

This symphony is so tender, beautiful, and tranquil. It gives me so much peace, comfort, and happiness during difficult times. I really enjoyed this performance.
🌈 "The allure of classical music lies in its ability to awaken dormant emotions, to breathe life into the unsaid. With every masterpiece, it's as if the notes are the threads stitching together the fabric of our emotions, creating a symphony that resonates with the core of our existence." 🎻💖
Well said. Respect to you
I love the beginning. I think the tempo that the conductor takes is exquisite
Шуберт как и Бетховен- космос, бездна… С первых тактов и вступления хочется слушать и постигать.))👏
Спасибо за такой концерт!
Beautiful interpretation, beautiful playing and beautiful acoustics. I especially like the tempo chosen.
I believe this to be Schubert's greatest masterpiece . I also believe it is complete as it is !
When I was young, in early 80's, I attempted to collect and compare all recordings of "Unfinished", which would have been far easier if we had had Apple Music, Spotify, etc. I was totally immersed in it for about six months. And I came down to Bruno Walter/NY Phil as my #1 pick, with a couple of almost equally good renditions. The worst was Riccardo Muti's; it was truly 'unfinished Unfinished'. The only rendition after then that really impressed me was Carlos Kleiber's. Even though I've got to admit that it was not the best among his phenomenal but scarce recordings, it was still one of the best renderings. Now this live performance is pretty satisfactory in its build-up and structuring, albeit it is little bit wanting in sonority. I'm happy that in this age when great civilizations are declining there are still those who inherit, share, and transmit them.
Terrible spotify , apple music they are spoiling the quality of sound. Awful compression technique....
I too like the Walter/NY Phil "old school" recording very much. This one feels a bit rushed (the style of the day is to play everything "briskly" --- wrong in general, and particularly so in the "Unfinished"). Try the live Abbado w/the Berlin (on RUclips), and (believe it or not) Bernstein's w/the Concertgebouw on DGG. Gunter Wand's is excellent (with NDR orchestra) and so is Eschenbach's w/the Frankfurt Radio (live) also on RUclips, who takes more liberties, but appropriately so. You'll have trouble picking a favorite. I know I did, although Abbado's is flawless.
@dejuren Indeed! When virtually all music in the world is just a click away, not only have we lost enjoyment of music in togetherness, but also a sense of spiritual exploration, which elevates our mundane experience of life unto something beyond.
@@Ageless-yh7gv Thank you very much for the recommendation. I'll definitely try Abbado's live recording. However, I doubt whether I can find a joy from it as much as I did when there was a 'scarcity' of the commodity. I still vividly remember a day when a lucky guy won a bidding to buy a used vinyl of John McCormack, which featured "Maggie", in Seoul about 30 years ago. Everybody in that store envied his fortune. At that time, importing music album was strictly regulated, and thus, it was extremely difficult to buy it. At a time when I was finally able to buy a couple of albums through a long, uncertain days of waiting (of course, with an exorbitant price tagged on it), it felt like a day of triumph. "Durch Leiden zur Freude," indeed! What a precious moment it was when, in almost a ritualistic act of worship, I carefully opened, cleaned, and put it on a turntable! That day is gone.
I am too a big fan of both Bruno Walter's and Carlos Kleiber's rendition of this masterpiece.
Travelling comfortably throughout the cosmos has never been more realistically possible to realise while on spaceship Earth. Schubert's No. 8 and Maestro Fischer make the experience joyfully lifting and magic. I am enthralled.
A heavenly performance with outstanding , professional quality ( technically and musically)!

Always one of my favorites....!
☕☕ Tea with Mussolini brought me here..☕ ☕
The perfect symphony. My favorite. Rhythmic and melodic motifs brilliantly arranged, pizzicati throughout, woodwinds accompanying rich celli melodies, bold pre-Shostakovich-like brass. Such warm tone in my EarPods. Playing as one in tempi set by a sensitive conductor. Bravo.
I was pleasantly surprised there were no ads between movements. Also the performance was really great.
We're glad you enjoyed it 😊

That's what's great about DW, hardly any ads., usually only before the music starts. Save this channel.
Невероятно!
This Unfinished Symphony is completely sublime, ethereal, and pleasing to the ear. How could this be titled Unfinished Symphony when Schubert completed the Ninth Symphony? Excellent version from the conductor Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra.
Удивительная симфония! Очень её люблю. Впервые услышала её на виниловой пластинке, которую мне поставил мой будущий муж. Это было в 1979 году. Кто исполнял -- не помню. Но впечатление было очень сильное. Сейчас также прослушала с огромным удовольствием. Очень хорошее исполнение.
For me, this is the best-ever Schubert 8. That's just for me, though, but I do adore the longevity of the first movement. There is so much more going on when the tempo is slower and we can therefore absorb the true musical message. Thank you, Maestro, for allowing the second movement to breathe. Many thanks to the Budapest Festival Orchestra for this utterly marvelous performance.
Què maco és eh...què tendre i sensible és aquest director....fixeu- vos: quan acaba l' estrofa, apreta els ulls fort, com dient amb un gest molt expressiu a la cara: molt bé nois!!! Perfecte!!! Què maco!!! NO em digueu que no valía la pena caviar a millor, a ser més sensible, a ser millor...BRAVO BRAVÍSSIMO!! UN DIRECTOR DE LUXE!!!
This has always been a very favorite music piece of mine, ever since childhood. And now that I've entered my (predictably) last quarter-century of life, it'll be a shame (at least for me) to leave not only it, but this music as well. It touches my emotions now even more than ever. The occasional innovations this director brings to it keep me waiting expectantly for the next one. In a word, I'm well pleased. Many thanks for introducing this performance to this medium! JAT
Dear John Hurley, we are very pleased to hear that this piece is so emotionally valuable to you. It is great that you are open to innovations even with a favourite piece that you have cherished for so long. Perhaps you will find even more treasures in our channel. Best regards from Berlin!
Superb!!! Muzica minunata și interpretare pe măsură!! Mulțumesc!!
When I was a little child hearing this for the first time, I was sure it was Beethoven. I was surprised years later when I learned it was Schubert.
This by far the best live performance I have ever heard.
I love the charm on one of the French Horn Player's instruments! It adds character to the orchestra and reminds us that there are actual people making this wonderful music, not just faceless instruments (I mean obviously it's not hard to keep that in mind with a live video, but now when I'm only listening to it, I have someone to think about lol)
Videos really bring the music to life, makes you concentrate more. Sound only and your mind can wander
гениальная симфония в прекрасном исполнении!!! просто жить хочется! ❤
Yo también quiero vivir,te entiendo perfectamente y empatizo con tus palabras.¡Que bien se está oyendo música tan bella! Solo quieres vivir para encontrar más belleza en el mundo de las artes.Un abrazo respetuoso.
Masterpiece.. Loved it to the core... So simple yet Rich 😍
And to think Schubert only lived to the age of 31. Just amazing.
Un primo clarinetto con grande musicalità!
Bella orchestra
Wonderful. This is the best version that I have heard so far.
I recall hearing this composition during the opening of the movie Being There starring Peter Sellers. The character Chauncey wakes up and turns on his TV set and watches a symphony playing this beautiful classical music that sets the tone of the movie with the pathos of the main character in the movie. It took me over forty years to appreciate this unfinished symphony as a masterpiece.
Another couple of Schubert's great works are the 9th symphony "The Great". And Schubert's Serenade.
Wonderful! I’ve not been fond of this symphony until this performance! Revelatory! Bravo to all!!
this is such an epic piece of music. missing words every time I hear it.
When I hear work like this (especially that opening)...it makes me wonder... Should I be more thankful for indoor pluming, modern medicine, the information revolutions, or should I just be thankful that we have works like this? because in my mind, this performance is above anything I can think of!
We're glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to follow us in order to not miss out in the future 😊
❤❤I love you and me. Your music is amazing!!!😊
This is very good, it has dynamics, and a strong melody, he really was a genius
I have never enjoyed this music as much as in this uptaking. Thank you.
That's music to our ears. We're glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser unvollendeten doch perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit gut harmoniserten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt echt schön und auch melodisch. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit angenehmer Dynamik. Wahrlich hörenswert!
Das ist richtig richtig gute Musik!!!
I love this! And here it is! I got lucky tonight and here is beautiful thing right here in a GREAT performance!! Jim Martin Nashvile TN
Это невероятно 🙏Великая музыка!!!!
Damn , that symphony is fantastic. Has a flaw so delicate. And the intese parts so dramatic, contrasting the motives through orchestra. Franz's most beautiful orchestral piece. Equal to that , only one piece I can say there is. Felix Mendelssohn's Hebrides overture : Fingal's cave .
Such a wonderful performance of a soul-stirring piece of music. I probably would have been on my feet applauding if I'd been there. Many thanks.

Excellent phrasing, dynamics, articulation, balance and intonation; furthermore, audio recording and video editing were very well done. Beautiful piece…Bravo!

Some years ago a logos occurred to me “Music expresses wordless odysseys”. Schubert’s eight Symphony is such a tender unfurling epic journey with sighs of soulful heartthrobs. Never sad but beautifully tragic. PWG

One awesome piece of music
The Dark Beauty . What else can you say ? Gives you shivers .
Nice performance!
Oh! how beautiful and so juicy Schubert it is ! I would think that Schubert left so juicy impressions of his tasteful simple rhythm and melody to us. If I allow me to say that which is better or not depends on how to play or how to conduct. Recording acoustics are veryvery good and so beautiful, especially Contrabasses. For some reason or other, I might say it is very difficult to play syncopation for Asian people, especially our Japanese. How do you know? Anyway I happened to listen to Schubert "Unfinished" today. This symphony is veryveryvery difficult, it become frequently tired of listening or playing. On the other side I hear Beethoven said "Tempo is Music" I feel the first movement is composed in various piece of music, phrasing, passages, articulations and juicy tempo which is concerned with them. Congratulations! Budapest Festival Orchestra and Ivan Fischer played so so so beautiful Schubert No.8/7?
Točno napisana oba prezimena.👍
Surprisingly good performance.

Purtroppo Franz Schubert ha vissuto solo 31anni.ha scritto capolavori come 4,5,8,9,sinfonie,e tanti concerti...concludo che Schubert e un grandissimo compositore...mio opinione personale... Danke schon
