Overview
Experience Franz Schubert’s late symphonic masterpieces in this Deutsche Grammophon compilation featuring Karl Böhm and the Berliner Philharmoniker. First, delve into the poignant mystery of the “Unfinished” Symphony No. 8 in B minor (D 759), its two movements suffused with lyrical depth. Then be swept away by the grandeur of Symphony No. 9 in C major “The Great” (D 944), a four‑movement tour de force of classical innovation and exuberance. Originally recorded in stereo by Polydor in the mid‑1960s and reissued in 1997, this 74‑minute CD captures Böhm’s authoritative interpretations and the orchestra’s warm, spirited playing.
