Unfinished business

The 大象传媒 Philharmonic with Chief Conductor Omer Meir Wellber in a feast of symphonies by Schubert.

The 大象传媒 Philharmonic and their chief conductor, Omer Meir Wellber, present a feast of three symphonies by Schubert. Opening with his bright Second Symphony - unobtrusive innovation, charm and vivacity characterise a youthful piece - his Sixth ends our programme; Schubert spoke of Rossini as "undeniably a genius" and Italian influences makes themselves felt throughout his "little" C major Symphony. His famous "Unfinished" Symphony completes the evening; the wealth of extraordinary innovation and luxurious, deeply felt melody make this stand out among his music of the time.

Live from the Philharmonic Studio at MediaCityUK in Salford.
