“When I wished to sing of love,
it turned to pain.
And when I wished to sing of pain,
it turned to love.”

Franz Schubert, 1822
Mein Traum (“My dream”)

Without fear of being indiscreet, we can now admit that we were thinking of devoting our energies to Schubert’s Symphonies 8 and 9 immediately after finishing our cycle of the complete Beethoven symphonies, which, after a year’s delay as a result of Covid, concluded with the concert on 15th December, 2021, at Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu.

Having said that, this idea of a symphonic cycle with Le Concert des Nations focusing on the principal composers of the 19th century began much earlier, in 1993 in fact, when we were preparing Beethoven’s Third and Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga’s Great Symphony for the recording we made in January, 1994. Unfortunately, lack of funding on the part of our recording label AUVIDIS forced us to shelve the project. This was one of the reasons why we decided to create our own recording label ALIA VOX in 1997.
