Franck's only symphony came at a time when the French music world was seeking to rival the great Austro-German tradition. The 'darkness-to-light' narrative of the Symphony in D minor owes a debt to Beethoven and there is a unique power within its distinctive themes, innovative cyclic form and general gravitas. Franck's student Ernest Chausson was no doubt inspired by his teacher's thematic metamorphoses, but the anguished influence of Wagner is also ever present.
