While still a controversial matter, there seems to be general agreement that Schubert"s "Grand Duo" is a symphony that the composer failed to find time to orchestrate (or perhaps a piano reduction of one which he actually did orchestrate). In any case, there isn"t a trace of piano style in the music, and in any of its various orchestral arrangements it makes a fully mature Schubert orchestral work. Raymond Leppard"s performance is a very fine one, and it"s excellently recorded. Along with a jaunty performance of the zippy Third Symphony, this disc makes a very appealing novelty. --David Hurwitz
