Schubert
Death and the Maiden
Buffalo Philharmonic JoAnn Falletta Schubert’s music has been arranged by many other composers, though few have succeeded in amplifying the astonishing drama and pathos of a masterpiece like Death and the Maiden as has Andy Stein, who writes: “I have tried to create a late classical / early Romantic symphony out of this great chamber work, so that it perhaps would sound as if Schubert himself had conceived it in this form.” The reconstruction of the Scherzo of Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ Symphony is based on fragments from the composer’s notebooks.

Popular with audiences and critics alike, Shining Brow has been hailed as a masterpiece full of fresh ideas, and is frequently performed. “Hagen has a gift for the big tune, and he serves up some beauties” (New York Times). “Its libretto is unusually inventive and poetic” (Capital Times). See page 11 for more.
