Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Pays Tribute To Franz Schubert, Franz Welser-Most Conducts; Marks 175th Anniversary

Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra remembers Franz Schubert, a great talent of the 19th century. As earlier reported, a concert is set on Feb. 24.

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra will be honoring Franz Schubert, whose death cut short a great talent's life, through a series of concert that will be led by the conductor Franz Welser- Möst. Meantime, the concert is also expected to feature the American premiere of "Time Recycling" by René Staar, who is a long-time violinist with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Moreover, the Vienna Philharmonic's stellar ensemble will also present Schubert's Overture to "Die Zauberharfe" as well as his Ninth Symphony, along with Strauss' well-known tone poem "Ein Heldebleben", including Schoerberg's "Verklärte Nacht." Meantime, reports indicate that few experiences get to bring that fact as perfectly as performances of Schubert's  Symphony No. 8 named "Unfinished," that becomes the centerpiece of the concert, New York Times reported.

Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, meanwhile, is celebrating its 175th anniversary by returning to the Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium for three concerts, which features the works of Schubert as mentioned earlier. The concert will run on Feb. 24 until 26.

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's concert program, which is on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 8 in the evening, is set to feature Austrian pianist Rudolf Buchbinder in Brahm's Piano Concerto No. 1, Bartok's "The Miraculous Mandarin" Suite and Schubert's Symphony No. 8 titled "Unfinished." Meantime, on Feb. 26, Vienna Philharmonic is expected to perform Schoenberg's Verklarte Nact, Op. 4 and Shubert's Symphony No. 9 in C Major, "Great."
