  • To mark the great composer’s birthday, we are delighted to share a new four-part video series exploring the life of Franz Schubert, presented by Graham Johnson (commissioned by John Gilhooly).
    Having engaged with Schubert’s music for over five decades as an internationally celebrated performer, scholar and author, Johnson offers unique insights into Schubert’s story, building a vivid and detailed picture of this incomparable composer.
    In the first part of the series, Graham Johnson explores Franz Schubert’s early life in Vienna.
    Focusing here on the formative influences on Schubert’s musical development, Johnson delves into Schubert’s home life, the first concerts he experienced and his school years.

    I'm very much looking forward to hearing these insights over 4 parts from the eminent Mr Graham Johnson. As I grow older, Schubert means more and more to me.

    The two Graham Johnson Schubert videos I have seen to date are beyond compare in offering intellectual, cultural, historical, and yes, emotional content. They incorporate first-rate performances of Schubert lieder, along with the scores. Bravo!

    Graham Johnson is also amongst the very best accompaniments for Schubert's music, easily rivaling Moore.

    1:26:22 for just one second is the only bit I hear as a link to the Beethoven...(but then I don't have much of an ear for music - despite being taught a bit by a Beethoven-lineage teacher - through Nikolaev, Lechitizky ets)

      Agree. It’s only a rhythmic similarity - nothing else of the harmonic progression, phrasal structure, etc.

    Schubert is one of two great composers (with Delius), to my knowing, who died of syphilis. It's apparently a very horrible way to go.

      By the time of his death Schubert's syphilis was actually in a state of remission .
      Fortunately he never went through all the progressing stages of this terrible disease until the lethal one; that rather slow progress can often take several decades with long pauses of remission in between, which can last for years.
      He simply died too young.
      He possibly died of an acute infection, probably a sort of typhoid fever.
      Three days before his death he was diagnosed by his doctors with "typhus abdominalis", the most probable cause of his death.
