{"product_id":"symphonies-4-5-827949085666","title":"Symphonies 4 \u0026 5","description":"Multiple prize-winning conductor René Jacobs and the B'Rock Orchestra present the third instalment of their Schubert cycle on PENTATONE with a recording of the composer's Fourth and Fifth Symphony. Just as with the Second and Third, Jacobs approaches these works as a symphonic pair, revealing contrasting aspects of Schubert's personality and compositional approach. The Fourth is Schubert's first symphony in a minor key, and adumbrates a totally new harmonic worldview that Dvorák associated with Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. On the contrary, the Fifth sounds Mozartian and cheerful, although that light-heartedness is only an appearance, as is so often the case in Schubert's music. In the composer's words, \"too light a mind usually harbors a heart that is too heavy!\" Looking closer beneath the surface, the cross-relations between the \"Tragic\" Fourth and \"lighter\" Fifth become all the more evident. The players of the B'Rock Orchestra present these works on period instruments; transparent, but full of fire.","brand":"Pentatone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521111035987,"sku":"2419639X","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/3992066_edcc2813-dc08-4034-a010-9744c27e016d.jpg?v=1790236285","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/symphonies-4-5-827949085666","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
