Sinfonie Nr. 10 D-Dur D 936a

Dating from the Autumn of 1828, Schubert's 10th Symphony is arguably the composer's final creative endeavour. Using Schubert's extensive piano sketches - substantially complete for movements two and three, and containing the principle material for the movement - the renowned Schubert scholar, Brian Newbould, has realised the work as Schubert himself might have done.

The editor's judicious and sensitive realisation, born out of a life-long study of the composer's workings, has resulted in a fascinating and rewarding addition to the symphonic repertoire. The 10th Symphony offers a unique insight into the startling, pioneering style of Schubert on the threshold of his fourth decade.
