Schubert The Symphonies

"This is the first 'authentic' Schubert symphony cycle past the finishing post ... But are the much lauded advantages of period instruments in evidence here: the supposed enhancement of textural transparency, more sharply defined rhythms etc? The answer is yes." Jonathan Swain, Gramophone The Hanover Band was the first Period Instrument Orchestra to record a complete Beethoven Symphony cycle and having accomplished this remarkable achievement they set sights for Schubert.
