Schubert Symphony In C Major "The Great" - Bruno Walter, Columbia Symphony Orchestra

The Best

In my opinion the best Schubert Symphony ever recorded.

a Great recording

Malgré un tempo général un peu lent, l’équilibre orchestral reste celui d’un chef de légende. Divines longueurs à savourer longuement!

Decent performance and sound.

Schubert's great C major has a lot of competition in this era - Szell, Munch, Krips etc. This one falls around the middle of an admittedly very good pack. It's a good reading, albeit somewhat deliberate at times. Decent to good sound, typical of Columbias at this time.
