Description
The Symphony in E major (D 729) from the summer of 1821 is one of five unfinished symphonies by Franz Schubert; recently it has often been counted as Schubert's 7th symphony.
Unlike his other symphonic fragments, the symphony in E major exists in a complete draft from the first to the last bar in all four movements.
More recently, the symphony became accessible to a wider public again in the completed version by Brian Newbould (1982).
Now the Austrian composer Richard Dunser, together with the conductor Mario Venzago, has presented a new version of the symphony fragment. The less inspired middle movements have been replaced by supplemented drafts from the year of Schubert's death.
The result: a "new" great symphony by Schubert with a playing time of over 40 minutes; an original and gripping work that immediately convinces with its idiomatic and formal unity.
