Editorial Reviews

Abbado’s complete Schubert symphony cycle is a benchmark recording, exhibiting a “freshness of approach and authentic Schubertian warmth and glow” (Gramophone). Not only does this collection contain the entire collection of Abbado's Schubert symphonies, it also features the added bonus of Joseph Joachim’s great orchestration of the "Grand Duo", originally for piano duet, now a virtual symphony in its own right.

Under Abbado's baton, the Schubert symphonies are in good hands. Neither small nor big, the orchestra is lively and brings new insights. The recordings have great acoustics. I find the Schubert symphonies a middle ground between Beethoven and Mozart, a very good place to be. I favor the Abbado set over any other I've heard.

Good price on these symphonies. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are quite listenable. 1-4 Schubert is just warming up. He was probably intimidated by Beethoven. Sym 8 and 9 are great performances.

I bought 4 set of CDs in my last purchase I think this one is the best. I quite appreciate Abbado and Europe Chamber Orchestra introduced a totally new Schubert to me. I like this version of Schubert Symphony, maybe better than Karajan's.

Great performances, good sound. Highly recommended. I think this chamber orchestra is just right for this music. I like this packaging. It’s a thin box containing discs in paper sleeves.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sonic Spectacular
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2019
This set of Schubert symphonies recorded back in the 80's belies its age. The recording has incredible presence and clarity. You can hear all the instruments of the orchestra effortlessly. It is the first recorded set based on Schubert's original autograph scores. Any alterations by Brahms etc. have been restored to Schubert's original notations. All recorded sets prior to this one have had alterations to the score(s) of some kind by composers other than Schubert. Interpretively the music under Abbado has vitality through out the entire cycle and the COE is so full bodied you would never know they are a chamber orchestra. The only other competition in this realm would be by Harnoncourt with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, to my ears they are sonically outclassed and the orchestral playing sounds under- rehearsed.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent set with minor reservations- 4.5 stars
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2012
I have not heard an entirely unexceptionable complete Schubert symphony set, including those by Bohm,Sawallisch, and Abbado. I do consider Eugen Jochum's one half set-#s 4/Tahra,5/DG, 8/Tahra, and 9/DG- to be five star versions unreservedly and would rank none of them below those of the completists et al. Abbado benefits from updated scholarship, excellent sound, and mostly good tempi from the fine COE (the small size helps in #s 1-6 especially.) I do find the opening of #5 a bit too quick and some of #4 too sedate c.f. Jochum and Sawallisch (the Sawallisch #4/1 is too quick, however). Abbado's #9 is very good- as large scaled as it deserves, rythmically alert,unstintingly tough and tender. #s 1-3 and #6 (especially tne more Rossiniesque #6) fare best. And #5 is fine after its hasty introduction.

Rankings for the other three sets in descending order
#1-Sawallisch, Abbado, Bohm
#2- Abbado, Sawallisch, Bohm
#3- Bohm, Sawallisch, Abbado
#4-Sawallisch, Abbado, Bohm
#5-Bohm, Abbado, Sawallisch
#6- Abbado, Sawallisch, Bohm
#8 and 9- Sawallisch, Abbado, Bohm

Best of the rest:
Ristenpart 1 and 2; Marriner 1 and 4; William Steinberg 2, 8 and 9; Munch 2 and 8; Carlos Kleiber 3 and 8; Van Beinum 3,6, and 8; Neumann 3 and 8; Klemperer 5,8, and 9; Reiner 8; Szell 8 and 9; Erich Kleiber 9; Haitink 5 and 9 9; Boult 9

5.0 out of 5 stars Hervorragende Interpretation!
Reviewed in Germany on March 29, 2021
Verified Purchase
Claudio Abbado wird zu Recht als einer der größten Dirigenten der jüngeren Vergangenheit bezeichnet. Seine Interpretationen sind nie langweilig und das zeigt sich auch bei dieser Aufnahme der Schubert-Sinfonien.
Abbado findet ein gutes Mittelmaß zwischen dem hohen Tempo von Kleiber und dem einschläfernden Tempo von Immerseel oder Böhm. Das gibt beispielsweise dem 2. Satz der 3. Sinfonie nicht so einen getriebenen Charakter, sondern eine unbeschwerte Leichtigkeit. Das bekannte Thema im ersten Satz der Unvollendeten kommt als Titelmusik im verfilmten Fernsehvierteiler von Fontanes Roman "Der Stechlin" mit Arno Assmann in der Hauptrolle vor. Man stellt sich wahrhaftig einen Reiter zu diesem Thema vor, wenn man die Aufnahme von Muti hört.

Wer einen beschwingten Schubert hören möchte, sollte zu Claudio Abbado oder Günter Wand greifen. Riccardo Muti setzt zwar den Maßstab in Sachen Interpretation, die Gesamtausgabe hat allerdings das Problem, dass die 9. Sinfonie auf zwei CDs aufgeteilt ist. Im Zweifel würde ich deshalb zu Wand oder Abbado greifen, da hier die Aufteilung ohne Überschneidungen ist. Die neueste Schubert Aufnahme stammt von Antonello Manacorda mit der Kammerakademie Potsdam, ich persönlich finde sie noch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, obwohl sie sich vom Charakter her in die oben genannten frischen Aufnahmen einfügt.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the few overall best sets on record
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 4, 2021

I researched & listened far & wide for a Schubert symphonies set. Ultimately, as a balance of playing, interpretation, liveliness, recording quality, price etc. I do think this has to be one of the top 3 on record & I did purchase. I believe it also won a Gramophone award. I also purchased 2 other sets. The Gunter Wand set on RCA, which is less lush but plenty of clarity, purpose, drive and a strong interpretation. I also purchased the Marriner set on Philips, mainly for its completed 7th and 10th symphonies (+fragments), however the playing there also turns out to be great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Schubert. Les Symphonies ( Coffret 5 CD )
Reviewed in France on December 3, 2015
Verified Purchase
Voici enfin mes commentaires sur ces Symphonies. Je m'excuse de ce retard mais il ne tient en aucune façon à un quelconque désagrément que m'aurait causé cet achat...Quoi qu'il en soit, ces Symphonies me causent toujours le même plaisir mais variable cependant selon chacune. Ainsi, les numéros 1 et 2 sont certes agréables mais je ne les trouve pas exceptionnelles. La 3 est imposante, martiale et impressionne. La 4 est tragique et moins attirante. Par contre, la 5 est enjouée et d'une allégresse bienfaisante. Bien que dite "la petite", la 6 ne manque pas d'allure. Enfin, que dire encore de la 8 sinon qu'elle est sublime et émouvante, incomparablement....L' ouverture "Rosamonde" qui complète le dernier CD ravive in fine, par sa délicatesse et son élégance, l'image du Schubert que j'aime tant. La haute qualité de l'interprétation dirigée par Claudio Abbado y contribue certainement.
