Schubert: Complete Symphonies Vol.3: Symphony No.9 D944 Residentie Orkest The Hague

Third instalment in Schubert's ongoing Complete Symphonies series by Jan Willem de Vriend and the Residentie Orkest The Haag. A highlight in the series as this volume is entirely devoted to the Ninth Symphony, Schubert's last one, also known as "The Great" for its imposing size.

Previous volumes have been welcomed by critic. On Vol.1, Pizzicato: ... a promising start; MusicWeb: Well recorded and performed with a good deal of panache. On Vol.2: Fanfare: ... the performances with their odd combination od delicacy, decisiveness and drive, really work. Luister: ... two early symphonies, fresh and full-bodied, with all the echoes of Mozart and Haydn.
