St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and Schubert's Unfinished

Advanced Symphony is going to read Schubert's 8th symphony, the Unfinished. It's so named because it consists of only 2 movements. Though it was written 6 years before Schubert died, he never completed the symphony. The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, one of the country's premiere ensemble groups, has a recording out including the symphony. To listen to a feature audio about the recording which has some interesting info about the symphony and the group, link to:
