Schubert's music has been arranged by many other composers, though few have succeeded in amplifying the astonishing drama and pathos of a masterpiece such as the Death and the Maiden Quartet as has Andy Stein, who writes: "I have tried to create a late classical / early Romantic symphony out of this great chamber work, so that it perhaps would sound as if Schubert himself had conceived it in this form". The reconstruction of the Scherzo of Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony is based on fragments from the composer's notebooks. The last movement uses segments from Schubert's incidental music for Rosamunde, written shortly after he had set aside the Symphony, and which scholars believe may have been intended for its finale.

「死と乙女」には驚き。聴く前は「トンデモ版」ではないかとある意味期待していたのだが、良い意味で裏切られた。シューベルトのオーケストラ書法を実に良く研究して、ほとんど違和感無く仕上げた編曲者には拍手だ。この形、充分アリではないか。演奏も良い。「未完成」は第3楽章の補筆版はそれなりに面白いけど、終楽章は全くの蛇足で、こちらは演奏もイマイチ。ともかく一聴の価値あり!

未完成の完成版はニューボールト版とエイブラハム版が知られていますが、所詮同じスケッチの基づくので・・・。死と乙女の管弦楽版は楽しめた。 NAXOSさんにお願いします。シューベルト弦楽五重奏曲の管弦楽編曲版をリリースして下さい。これは既に録音されていますが入手が困難ですので。
