Schubert Franz - Schubert: Symphonies Unfinished & G

Facts Marek Janowski presents his first purely-orchestral Schubert recording, together with the Dresdner Philharmonie, performing the composer's two final, groundbreaking and most famous symphonies. While the two movements of the "Unfinished" symphony in B Minor reach a level of perfection despite the work's apparent incompleteness, Robert Schumann praised the "Great" symphony in C Major for it's "heavenly length". Janowski's interpretation combines a sense of tradition with vitality and intensity. Marek Janowski is one of the most celebrated conductors of our time. After having recorded Schubert songs in orchestrations by Reger and Webern with the tenor Christian Elsner in 2015, Janowski now adds this symphonic Schubert album to his impressive Pentatone discography, following complete recordings of Bruckner, Brahms and Beethoven's symphonies, several works by Richard Strauss, as well as Wagner's ten mature operas. He works together with the Dresdner Philharmonie, with whom he already released complete recordings of Beethoven's Fidelio (2021), Puccini's Il Tabarro and Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana (both 2020).
