Schubert: Symphony No.8 'Unfinished' Allegro moderato 1/2 Carlos Kleiber

[TPHBLIB]

Well said Awaretenacious. I heard a comment that this piece feels like you have a blizzard of Snow and you are just driving through it to slowly see the Sun come. This creates some haunting and beauty that one can only feel deep inside.

It's funny, sad, and strange how classical music is only recognized by inane cartoons like the Smurfs or mainstream Hollywood movies like Minority Report. The world we live in is growing more and more uncivilized and illiterate with each passing day. Classical music--like good poetry--is a dying Art form.

[TheOneandOnlyAmateur]

@awaretenacious Hmm... on the contrary, it's a wonderful thing that these pieces get recognition from such forms of media. It is through these means that they can reach the mainstream audience and attract people that would never have heard this kind of music otherwise.

Just heard this for the first time at a concert, and burst into tears.

[LilxMissxSkellington]

I just love this symphony! I'm so glad we are playing this in my orchestra class, or I would have never discovered this beautiful piece of music

Carlos Kleiber was a genious !

Thank you so much

Mahler uses the orchestra the best out of anyone

Schubert wrote the deepest music

Bach wrote the most brilliant music.

-Each of the best composers is best in his/her own way. there really is no such thing as "best", "only one of the best".

[XDKoizumiTenmaXD]

at the beginning is like "what's this melody?" and then is like "what's next, what's next!!??" it is full of surprises :P

[lordsvarte]

If you know this from Angra, thumbs up

[cacaiofoda1985]

@lordsvarte

i've just looked at Angra's CD ( angels cry ), and there is mentioned that André matos composed it!....... now i see... he has only copied it!... but whatever...It matches very well with the next song on th cd ( carry on ).......

@cacaiofoda1985

this is quite a known song... I think it was even used by the Smurfs cartoon... its quite known that Matos didnt composed it. But he probably modified it a bit. Its worth remembering Matos studied in a classical music school.

[sorim1967]

Schubert wrote this at the age of 25 - by that time Beethoven had not written a single symphony and his sole major composition would have been an early piano concerto. I find it incredible that Schubert has yet to be regarded by most as the greatest of all composers; but here, and only here, we can have no doubt that had he another few years he would not have been just a great composer but the towering figure of human achievement far above everything. Perhaps he is that anyway.

[MagicDolphinGO]

alright, does anyone else think it's weird that in the comments there are like 4 comments saying the same thing, all from kind of similar usernames?

[cutencrazy07]

I have played this before, and it was so much fun to play. The first movement is my favorite because in the beginning it starts off mysterious, but throughout the whole piece is so awesome =)

[CutandPrintFilms]

It sounds so mysterious ...

[TheCrazychick07]

I am playing this right now, and I was so freakin excited when i found out that I was getting to play this. I love Schubert's Symphony No.8 because in the beginning its starts off mysterious, but throughout the whole piece is wonderful. Also the first movement is my favorite. =)

Quel régal ! aaaaaahhhh.....

[loiko6666]

Kleiber was a true genius. wish this was on youtube

[Insanelycoolprincess]

My favorite part of this wonderful piece is at 2:11

[Insanelycoolprincess]

I love Schubert's Symphony No.8, and I want to play this so freakin badly. The first movement is my favorite because in the beginning of the piece starts off so mysterious, but throughout the whole piece it is so freakin amazing :)

[SuperCathi07]

@Insanelycoolprincess

I absolutely agree with you. I am playing this right and its so freakin awesome to play. My favorite part is at 2:11 too =)

[MrGallagher]

@Insanelycoolprincess I completely agree. Absolutely love the entire piece, especially the first movement; but the initial primary theme is one of the best I've ever heard. Absolutely incredible, so beautiful, so haunting. Favourite part of the piece.
