Classical or Romantic?

Breakfast The Spirit of Schubert

Petroc Trelawny presents Radio 3's breakfast show, celebrating the life and work of Schubert.

Schubert - Classical or Romantic?

With 200 hours of broadcasting and more than a thousand performances, over eight and a half days, 大象传媒 Radio 3 presents the biggest ever celebration of Schubert, his music and his life. Including performances of all his completed music and unique broadcasts of his unfinished works, Radio 3 devotes its entire schedule to one of the greatest ever composers. When he died at the age of 31 in 1828, he left a vast body of work, and with live daily performances across the UK, specially commissioned completions of his music and unprecedented analysis of the man behind the music, now, for the first time on this scale, 大象传媒 Radio 3 unravels the spirit of this prolific composer.

Throughout the day at 1000, 1500 and 1745 Tom Service presents The Schubert Lab - exploring the issues of the day and answering questions about Schubert's life and music.

From his earliest days Schubert, like Mozart and Beethoven, aimed to excel across the whole of instrumental and vocal composition and that put his roots firmly in classical soil. Inspiration from outside music soon coloured his thinking though, pushing him towards a richer harmonic and textural music - ahead of the true Romantics. Today we ask, what was Schubert at heart - Classical or Romantic?
