Schubert - The Dark Side

Available for over a year

Tom Service delves into the dark side of Franz Schubert. What can we hear in his music? A provincial composer who died young, described as looking like a "little mushroom", on the face of it Franz Schubert doesn't seem a likely candidate for deep insight into the human condition. But appearances are very definitely deceptive, and some of his music can seem deceptively straightforward as well. Join Tom Service for a journey into Schubert's psyche and discover what his music tells us about the man, and perhaps about ourselves. With Dr Laura Tunbridge of Oxford University.
