Just as with the Second and Third, Jacobs approaches these works as a symphonic pair, revealing contrasting aspects of Schubert's personality and compositional approach. The Fourth is Schubert's first symphony in a minor key, and adumbrates a totally new harmonic worldview that Dvorák associated with Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. On the contrary, the Fifth sounds Mozartian and cheerful, although that light-heartedness is only an appearance, as is so often the case in Schubert's music. In the composer's words, \"too light a mind usually harbors a heart that is too heavy!\" Looking closer beneath the surface, the cross-relations between the \"Tragic\" Fourth and \"lighter\" Fifth become all the more evident. The players of the B'Rock Orchestra present these works on period instruments; transparent, but full of fire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentatone","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ Symphonies 4 \u0026 5 Pentatone","offer_id":47256170823988,"sku":"PNTA5186856.2","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/3992066-2730962.jpg?v=1744306778","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/schubert-b-rock-orchestra-symphonies-4-5_aec-pnta5186856-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
