¡Schubert: Symphony No. 8 (9) "The Great"
¡Ferenc Fricsay (conductor), Hessen Radio Symphony Orchestra
Description
[Machine Translation] Remastered reissue of the TAHRA label's classic recording. This is the only "Great" recording of Hritschai, and for that reason alone, it is a must-have for all music lovers. Of course, the performance is superb. The "Great" tends to be somewhat redundant, but in Flitchai's hands, this is not the case at all. While drawing a magnificent world with a big footstep, he tightens the music with a strong and dominant sound, and the construction is filled with a sense of tension. In the first movement, the trombone sings the third theme, and the tempo is slowed down to a solemn effect. The final movement is also very exciting, with a raging crescendo and other powerful passages. It may be said that this was one of Flitchai's best performances before he became ill. The fervor does not come from a freewheeling interpretation, but from a precise grasp of what the piece is about, reminding us again what a great work "Great" is. The commentary includes a 15-page biography by Fritschai himself, which is well worth reading. Comes with Japanese obi and commentary.
