Schubert Symphony No. 9 In C Major "The Great" - Ataúlfo Argenta - Orchester der Cento Soli

A tribute to the conducting genius of Ataúlfo Argenta

Argenta shapes a propulsive symphony and finds the adequate rythm in every part. None of his rivals comes close to his reading : even the mischievous Münch or the rigid Szell don't deliver such treat and rush the music, losing Schubert's mind. Exhilarating performance. Beautifully enhanced by the old french orchestra sourness. Sound is very good and does justice to HDTT's usual transfers.

Real analogue sound.

Wind instruments sound beautifull with full bloom and reverberation in the hall. I could hear that even in the sample file.

recommended recording

The interpretation is captivating. The sound quality is good considering the age of the recording, except for the silent tape noise
