Helmed by the legendary Georg Solti, the Wiener Philharmoniker delivers a robust, highly energetic reading of Schubert's 'Great' C major symphony. The digital recording is notable for its rhythmic vitality and the sweeping, majestic power drawn from the celebrated Austrian ensemble. It is widely considered a benchmark modern interpretation that perfectly captures the scale and majesty of early Romantic orchestral literature.
