Description:

This is a 2012 recording by Thomas Hengelbrock, principal conductor of the prestigious North German Radio Symphony Orchestra. The program features Schubert's last symphony, the 60-minute epic No. 8 "The Great". The recording features light and colorful woodwinds, lively and articulated string parts in opposing positions, and an astonishing performance that transforms the massive North German Radio Symphony Orchestra into a completely new orchestra as the three-dimensional and transparent orchestral sound rises to the surface.
