Should Schubert have been paired with another, and if so, who?

We can imagine the missing completion as either if so, with whom should he be compared? or if so, who should that other composer be?

Now that's what I call a title

Originally posted by Flay View PostI think I can appreciate their intentions in what they are doing. I have heard much new music, and re-discovered other pieces.
But it is all too much.
Remember the Tchaikovsky week - he was paired with Stravinsky.
I would have preferred something like a "Schubert and Shostakovich" week.
Which composer would you have liked to have been paired with Schubert?
And if it were to be done again , which other composers would you like pairing?
In other words, I'm not sure I'd want a pairing at all unless it was necessary and helpful (at it obviously was with Tchaikovsky/Stravinsky). But if there is going to be one, the composers need to be connected in some way or other - so I can't think of anything much less appropriate than pairing Schubert with Shostakovich...except that they both begin with "S". As other posters have already suggested, Dvorak or Brahms might have worked well, but since there's more than enough Schubert, I (personally) enjoy the experience of hearing so much of the work of one (great) composer.

I though it worked a treat with Bach and Mozart, and I'm discovering all sorts of bits and pieces of Schubert as a result of the present marathon. So I'm quite happy to have the focus on a single composer.

May be there might have been some programmes on the Volkslied that Schubert might have been exposed to - to break the monotony.

I am certainly not a Lieder-fan (in general), so I hardly listen to any of these, but there is so much "new" and otherwise "unknown" music offered, that any real music lover would find something to enjoy; obviously using the play lists, to avoid the inane nonsense, trailers, news items, tweets of long dead composers and other rubbish with which the Beeb seems to prefer to present Schubert's works.
Short: I don't like wall-to-wall, but I do take the opportunity to listen to an otherwise unavailable selection of works.
