Summary
It takes someone special to make a case for Schubert's Third Symphony, but Antonello Manacorda showed that he had it in him. Conducting the first of the SCO's CL@SIX concerts this season, he brought real swing to a work often deemed to be just another early work by a composer all of whose music, as one distinguished authority once dared to put it, was early.
But with the spring-heeled main theme of the first movement sounding so like its future equivalent in the Great C major Symphony, Schubert's Third gets off to an exhilarating start. Rightly, it was on rhythm, more than on melody, that Manacorda placed the emphasis of his performance. Maintaining the music's verve, he made the entire work - daintily ambling second movement, swerving scherzo suddenly slowing down for its rustic trio section, racy tarantella finale - a study in (for the most part) acceleration and keen musical profile. Carlos Kleiber used to do the same, and Manacorda ran him close.See the full content of this document
