Christoph KonigAbout
Schubert’s last completed symphony, his Ninth known as the ‘Great C major’, was completed in 1825-6 and represented the end of a long struggle to produce a ‘great symphony’ - two unfinished works are its direct predecessors, the Seventh in E major (1821) and the famous Eighth ‘Unfinished’ (1822), both works on an expansive scale. The Ninth is remarkable for the rhythmic drive of tiny filigree motifs that multiply and climax and as Schumann said, its “heavenly length”. It was in 1839 that Schumann came across the forgotten score in the possession of Schubert’s brother Ferdinand. Mendelssohn conducted the Ninth in Leipzig eleven years after Schubert’s death to great acclaim and it was published that year - becoming the seventh of Schubert’s symphonies to appear in print, hence the confusion in numbering whereby in Germany it is known as No.7.
Christoph König and SEL’s previous release of Méhul and Beethoven received praise from critics all over Europe, including Gramophone and The Sunday Times in the UK, who described the ‘Eroica’ as a performance “powerful and rich in detail”.
