Schubert Symphony No.5 Wiener Philharmoniker, Karl Bohm (1979/2015)

“The Schubert dates from the end of Böhm’s recording career. It’s a superb version of this lovely symphony, another work that suited Böhm especially well. The reading is weighty but graceful, with a most beautifully phrased Andante (worthy of a Furtwängler), a bold Minuet and a thrilling finale. The recording is splendid. If you admire Böhm this is a worthy way to remember his special gifts.” –Gramophone Recorded December 1979 Grosser Saal, Musikverein, Wien, Austria Reissued 2015 as 24/96 FLAC tracks Franz Schubert (1797–1828) Symphony No.5 In B Flat, 0:00 1.
