It took only weeks for Schubert to finish his hour-long Octet. He was so immersed, he could barely make eye contact with his visitors. Tonight, just after 10:00, join me on @crbclassical.bsky.social for the miraculous result. I think it's thrilling to see the first page in Schubert's own hand:

I love Escher's print of The Sunken Cathedral, inspired by hearing Debussy's piano prelude. Which itself was inspired by a fantastical old Breton myth. I'll have Stokowsky's orchestral version, packed with mystery and atmosphere, at 8pm on Thursday the 9th. Join me on @crbclassical.bsky.social!
