Franz Schubert : Symphony no. 8 “Unfinished”
Neue Philharmonie Westfalen conducted by Jules van Hessen

The explanation during this concert is in German

Six years before his death, Franz Schubert wrote the Symphony in b minor D 759, better known as the "Unfinished". But is the piece really unfinished? Why are only two movements almost always played? And what does a mysterious princess from Cyprus have to do with this composition? These and many other questions will be answered by Maestro Jules!
