Having (remarkably) composed a symphony a year between 1813 and 1818, the onset of syphilis and it's intrusive treatment seemed to shake the composer's confidence as a symphonist - the Ninth is the only symphony after those first six that he actually completed. This is attributed by many to a wonderful holiday with friends in the high Austrian Alps that seems to have re-ignited his enthusiasm. The nickname 'Great' may originally have arisen to distinguish it from the 'little' C major Symphony (No. 6), but is apt, as the Ninth is on so much greater a scale than any symphony before it, which can run to almost an hour in some performances. The soprano Mary Bevan joins Edward Gardner and the CBSO in a selection of orchestral songs that complete the album. One was orchestrated by Schubert himself, the others are settings by Britten, Berlioz, Brahms, and Reger.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForelle, Op. 32, D 550 in D flat major\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosamunde, D. 797~No. 3b Romanze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoi des aulnes, from \"Erlkönig~[Excerpt]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeheimes, Op. 14 No. 2, D 719 in A flat major\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIm Abendrot, D 799 in A flat major\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymphony No. 9, D 944 `Great' in C major for Large Orchestra~Andante - Allegro ma non troppo - Più mosso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymphony No. 9, D 944 `Great' in C major for Large Orchestra~Andante con moto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymphony No. 9, D 944 `Great' in C major for Large Orchestra~Scherzo.
