About the Music

The German bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff joins the BSO and James Levine in familiar Schubert Lieder orchestrated by later master composers Anton Webern, Max Reger, and Jacques Offenbach. Schubert’s Symphony No. 4 is an earlier work that shows the evolution of his own symphonic style in a genre dominated by his Viennese predecessors Beethoven, Haydn, and Mozart. Closing the program is the premiere of a BSO 125th Anniversary Commission, American composer William Bolcom’s Eighth Symphony, a setting of texts by William Blake for chorus and orchestra.
