Steger made a seamless transition to Franz Schubert’s 8th Symphony, the equally „unfinished“. A great trick, which only intensifies the quiet but gloomy opening of the Allegro moderato all the more insistently and introduces the ostensibly light but tragic work of the too-early deceased with crackling tension.
