Free Music Notes for Schubert: 8 Symphonies
Free Music Review: B?hm, the Anti-Beecham Schubertian
Hit: 4 Stars
All of Schubert's eight symphonies, except for No. 8 "The Unfinished" and No. 9 "The Great C Major" (there is no No. 7 -- don't ask!), are usually considered lesser fare in his body of work and are often performed with a lighter touch. Conductor B?hm and the Berliners do make the major key symphonies jaunty, but also add some rhythmic punch along with deliberate foursquare tempi and a keen sense of musical architecture to give them the heft they need to sound substantial. The performances of No. 5 and No. 6 are the antithesis of the sprightly and rightly famous '50s-era recordings by Sir Thomas Beecham and are perhaps not as exemplary, but I've always found them so musically immaculate that I have no problem listening to them on a whim.
The recordings in this economical boxset are from 1963, '66, and '73. For the most part, they sound fine with plenty of bass and dynamic presence. Only occasionally does one hear some harshness on tuttis and fortissimos; certainly nothing to take away from the amicable, yet patrician performances.
