Episode 5
Donald Macleod introduces music from the last 18 months of Schubert's life, a period when he wrote some of the most remarkable works of his career.
In the 18 months before he died, Schubert wrote some of the most remarkable works of his life. Donald Macleod introduces part of Schubert's song cycle telling of a young man's journey through a bleak winter landscape, and one of his last chamber works, performed at the only all-Schubert concert ever to take place in his lifetime, just 8 months before his death at the age of 31.
