Period instrument performance classical music fans will definitely want to add this box set to their collection, which is a rather belated attempt by Philips to offer Bruggen's Schubert symphony cycle and reap some financial rewards from the fact that his period instrument band still remains one of the most popular ensembles of its kind world-wide. Having heard only a few of the recordings (These date from the early to mid 1990s), and not the entire cycle itself, I have to confine my remarks to them only. However, I was quite surprised to hear extremely well-played, intriguing performances of Schubert's 6th, 8th and 9th symphonies. Of these performances, the great 9th symphony in C major is in a class unto itself, as one of the best recordings I have heard of this symphony. Here Bruggen has opted for slightly slower tempi, but both his pacing and the elegant phrasing he obtains from the Orchestra of the 18th Century - especially its winds and strings - makes much sense. There are no sudden shifts in tempi, but instead, a regal, inspiring account of this work. However, as much as I am impressed by the quality of the recordings I've heard, I can recommend this set only as an alternative. Musically, both Abbado and especially, Harnoncourt, have some interesting things to say about Schubert's symphonic scores in their respective cycles with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe (Deutsche Grammophon) and Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (Teldec/Warner Classics). Either one I'd regard as more desirable for someone searching for a definitive cycle of Schubert's symphonies.
