Wiener KammerOrchester / Khachatryan / de Vriend

Franz Schubert was not yet twenty years old when he composed his 3rd Symphony. It was performed for the first time in a private circle, in the flat of the Viennese merchant Franz Frischling in Dorotheergasse. It would be another twenty years before the effervescent youthful work with its echoes of folk dances was heard in public.

Schubert expert Jan Willem de Vriend conducts
The principal conductor of the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, Jan Willem de Vriend, who has particular expertise in Schubert and has already recorded all of his symphonies, will be conducting them on the programme alongside an overture by Luigi Cherubini. Violinist Sergei Khachatryan will provide the virtuoso solo prelude with Beethoven's Violin Concerto.
