SYMPHONY NO.8 (S.O.BAYERISCHEN RUNDFUNKS/RAFAEL KUBELIK)

For me he is the most modern composer of the past... . His music is not compact or forced but breathes as though it were an organism. It is not tense but relaxed, flowing, soft and incredible subtle. Adriana Hoelszky ? ? Schubert's Great C major Symphony No. 8 is not a farewell work in which the composer's approaching end is announced; on the contrary, it is a symphony full of youthful freshness and determination pointing ahead into the future. It is Schubert's breakthrough to an independent symphonic concept beyond Beethoven's charged drama and monumentality. ? ?With the present LP audite continues the series of historical recordings with Rafael Kubelik and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in 180g vinyl format . It is a live recording of a concert in the Herkules-Hall in Munich from March 27, 1969.
