Now finally playing CD2 from this set for the first time - Symphonies Nos. 3 & 4 ...

[PaulR]

Schnittke:  Cello sonata #2 Rostropovich/Uriash

[Keemun]

Schubert: Symphony No. 8 (Carlos Kleiber/VPO)

[not edward]

An excellent set with no weak links in it. I don't think I've heard a better Fourth, and this is the only Second I know that can get within touching distance of the amazing Baloghova/Ancerl reading.

Exquisite, Ray! Well done!

It is indeed, Karl!  Have you found inspiration through this piece?  It seems Henningesque.

Schubert: Symphony No. 3 (Carlos Kleiber/VPO)

Thoughts on this disc, Keemum? I've thought about buying it.

[MishaK]

Thoughts on this disc, Keemum? I've thought about buying it.

Absolute must have, IMHO! Kleiber's subtle rubato and feel for Schubert's idiom are unsurpassed. Basically anything Kleiber/DG is must have.
