Wagner: The Flying Dutchman Overture; Schubert: Symphony No. 9 in C major, "Great"

For the third in this series of recordings drawn from

his archive of concerts with Orquestra Sinfonica

Portuguesa (see also Prokofiev and Rimsky-Korsakov

on FHR146; Abril, Falla and Weber with Teresa

Berganza on FHR153), alvaro Cassuto has turned to

music from the late Classical and mid-Romantic eras

in a coupling of Schubert and Wagner. Written less

than 15 years apart, these two pieces inhabit very

different aesthetics while having a common link in

Beethoven.
