After his collection of nine Beethoven symphonies, conductor Philippe Herreweghe tasked himself with a collection of Schubert’s. Released under Pentatone are symphonies n° 6, 8 (incomplete) and 9 (the “Great”). The rest were released under Herreweghe’s label, Phi, in 2015 and 2017. Schubert’s universe, from the early symphonies heavy with the spirit of Haydn and Mozart to the vast pantheistic scores that make up the final two 8th and 9th, certainly suit Herreweghe better than Beethoven. The spirit of the lied which continues to live within Schubert’s orchestra inspires the conductor with most natural phrasing. The architecture is rolled out with great suppleness, and in the eighth, the conductor creates a particularly sombre palette, in a “molten” and silky style that evokes primarily Bruckner, who’s work the conductor is familiar with. An interpretation to rediscover, rich and passionate.
