Remarkable new study...Its central submission, that we have
hitherto disregarded or misinterpreted the most profound intuitions
of a unique composer, certainly carries conviction. And even after
one reading there are already musical passages that this Schubert
enthusiast finds himself hearing in quite a new way. Bayan
Northcott, BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE A sensitive and richly allusive
commentary... likely to change the way we listen to certain works.
Brian Newbould The old stereotypes of Schubert as Bohemian artist
and unselfconscious creator have been replaced over the past
half-century with a picture of a difficult man in difficult times.
The author aims to redress the balance, concentrating firstly on
works where Schubert's beliefs are clearly expressed (masses, other
religious music, songs amounting to Geistliche Lieder). This also
prompts an examination of instrumental masterpieces (Unfinished and
Great C Major Symphonies, and the Wanderer Fantasy), which show
that Schubert's religious side encompasses awe and terror as well
as wonder. Schubert's 'complete voice' is thus clearly heard,
rather than the sombre one currently emphasised in both literature
and concert. LEO BLACK is a former BBC chief producer for music.
