Two intense chordal strikes summon the inescapability of fate underpinning Brahms’s Tragic Overture. Unearthed from a pile of old manuscripts, Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 9 was discovered by Robert Schumann from a trunk gathering dust years after the composer’s passing. Known as ‘The Great’, Schubert’s final symphony is inspired by his love of nature and the alps.
