The finale of Schubert’s Great Symphony, energetically galloping to its tightly-sprung rhythm, is among the most exhilarating in the symphonic repertoire. Yet, amazingly, this landmark work lay unknown after Schubert’s death until discovered and championed by Robert Schumann. Schumann’s own Piano Concerto is therefore an apt companion in this program, performed by the revered Japanese pianist Mitsuko Uchida.
