Schubert: Symphony No. 9: finale
I’ve always thought this was an incredible recording, though one could make an objection that it sounds more like Bruckner than Schubert. Still, it’s some pretty amazing playing and the way the recording is engineered (if you can tell) adds something atmospheric to the experience. Herbert von Karajan conducts the Berlin Philharmonic in the last half of the finale.
