Description

International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. Review 'A symphony for the benefit and enjoyment of the whole world,' was Schumann's verdict on Schubert's Great C major, generally deemed to have ushered in the Romantic era when it emerged 11 years after the composer's death. Sir Charles Mackerras forges a characteristic combination of elegance, power and restraint in this fine recording with the Philharmonia, the first in a new relationship between the orchestra and this label which also sees the release of forceful versions of Brahms's second and fourth symphonies under Christoph von Dohnanyi. In an age of deodorised live recordings, this rough diamond document of that concert is thrilling. The QEH s warts-and-all acoustic intensifies a performance that crackles with excitement...A miraculous work played with humour, wisdom and daring.
