The First has not lacked for recent recordings, but this is perhaps the finest of them all, enhanced by a particular care for sonority and the clean lines afforded by a small, select band of soloists playing with reduced vibrato. There’s Holliger’s characteristic attention to woodwind sound…and an uncommonly acute ear for phrasing…In all, it appears that of the recently established Schubert symphony cycles, this might be one to look out for.
