About

BIS releases the next in their ‘Opening Doors’ series in which Thomas Dausgaard and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra make a case for performing 19th-century symphonic works with a chamber ensemble. They have previously recorded Schumann’s symphonies as well as a recording of Dvořák’s Sixth and Ninth Symphonies. This disc now features the final works in Franz Schubert’s symphonic genre, both of which are arguably the most celebrated of all Schubert symphonies.

Dausgaard’s recording of Schumann’s Symphony No.1 received Orchestral Editor’s Choice in Gramophone: “Under Thomas Dausgaard, the Swedish Chamber Orchestra has become a top-class band, here delivering a really satisfying account of Schumann’s First Symphony. Without neglecting the work’s darker aspects, there is a sense of exultation that is most infectious. A performance to return to time and again”.
