3 out of 5 stars A mellifluous Schubert cycle, but lacking in adventure .......2006-05-20

Until fairly recently Schubert's symhonic output was largely unrecognized except for three works, the Mozartean #5, the passionate "Unfinished," and the sunny, expansive Ninth. Great conductors restricted themselves to thise three works, with the exception of Beecham, who championed Sym. #3, #4, and #6 with great effectiveness. Colin Davis is his successor in Britain as the acknowledged Grand Old Man of Music, but I'm not sure his Schubert is a real advance over the past.

All these readings are well played and recorded, and there are flashes of spirited interpretation, such as the opening movement of Sym. #3, which is forceful but without the toughness and edge that Carlos Kleiber brought to it. In general the best word for Davis's approach is poised, and the worst is meek. This is the mellifluous Schubert of old, the simple schoolteacher who hapened to be a melodic genius. One misses the brave thrust of Harnoncourt's readings with the Concertgebouw (Teldec), which inject a good deal of Beethoven into the mix.

If you are a traditionalist, Davis's cycle will be very satisfying--by comparison, Karajan's big-band approach with the Berlin Phil. (EMI) feels inflated and self-important. Too bad that Davis lets us down in the late masterpieces, the 'Unfinished' and the C major 'Great,' where his pleasant straightforwardness doesn't come close to doing justice to Schubert's genius. The rest of the symphonies come off sunny and bright without apology.

3 out of 5 stars Slow and Shallow.......2005-10-20

I was not impressed at all with the symphonies in this collection. All of them were lackluster in some fashion and were usually too slow in their interpretation. I wouldn't recommend buying this set.

The 8th symphony was not only slow but seemed short on musicians and without much depth: it may have been the acoustics in which it was recorded as well. I didn't particularly find the 9th symphony intersting either as it had no strength but it was slightly better than the 8th. In some of the other symphonies some of the sections sound like they're almost out of tune.

I strongly regret having bought this performance and would have bought something different had I known of its deficiencies. This box set is therefore not really a good investment. You will probably get better choices on Naxos at a cheap price compared to these expensive cheap performances.
