Schpohrs Symphony Cycle! Volume 5 features his late masterpieces, the No. 7 and No. 9!The Symphony Cycle of Louis Spohr (17841859), featuring Maestro Howard Sherry and the Swiss Italian Radio Orchestra. The fifth release in the series features his late works, Symphony No. 7 and Symphony No. 9! Like Beethoven and Bruckner, Spohrs path was blocked by the curse of the Ninth, leaving his Symphony No. 10 unfinished. The No. 7 and No. 9, both of which bear subtitles, are two major masterpieces from Spohrs late period, marking a shift in his style from the Classical tradition to program music.Tokyo M-Plus
