Of Note for Thr., July 14, 2016: An Homage to Schubert

In 1824 composer Franz Schubert writes, in a letter to his friend, that he has “not written many new songs,” a claim that is just one example of how hard Schubert was on himself, as he had written his Octet and two string quartets prior to this letter, and they went on to be some of the greatest chamber pieces of his career.

The immensity and emotional complexity of Schubert's work is not lost on Italian composer Luciano Berio, who pays homage in his work Rendering for Orchestra, a piece inspired by some sketches that Schubert had drawn in life. Hear Berio’s Rendering performed by the London Symphony Orchestra alongside Schubert’s Octet from 8 to 10 p.m. on KUAF. You can stream the entirety of this show online until July 20:
