For his new recording, Raphaël Pichon has selected works by Franz Schubert with as main work his
unfinished Eighth Symphony (sometimes also referred to as Schubert's seventh symphony).
Around Schubert's Eighth, baritone Stéphane Degout connects several dramatic works by Schubert, Schumann and Von Weber and thus unravels some divine secrets.
One morning in 1822, Schubert wrote down an enigmatic text in which all his ghosts seem to take shape: wandering, solitude, consolation, disappointed love. Inspired by this dreamlike narrative,
Raphaël Pichon, Pygmalion and Stéphane Degout have devised a vast Romantic fresco, combining resurrection of unknown treasures with rediscovery of established masterpieces.
