And even after one reading there are already musical passages that this Schubert enthusiast finds himself hearing in quite a new way. Bayan Northcott, BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  The old stereotypes of Schubert as Bohemian artist and unselfconscious creator have been replaced over the past half-century with a picture of a difficult man in difficult times. The author aims to redress the balance, concentrating firstly on works where Schubert's beliefs are clearly expressed (masses, other religious music, songs amounting to \u003ci\u003eGeistliche Lieder\u003c\/i\u003e). This also prompts an examination of instrumental masterpieces [\u003ci\u003eUnfinished\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGreat C Major Symphonies\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eWanderer Fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e], which show that Schubert's religious side encompasses awe and terror as well as wonder. Schubert's 'complete voice' is thus clearly heard, rather than the sombre one currently emphasised in both literature and concert.\u003cbr\u003e  LEO BLACK is a former BBC chief producer for music.","brand":"Leo Black","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280805802235,"sku":"9781843831358","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781843831358_2e1ad14c-154b-4ea7-9b96-1440f53e47a2.jpg?v=1772487462","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/franz-schubert-music-and-belief-9781843831358","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
