Schubert - Symphony 5 [Koopman-The Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra]
Schubert's Symphony 5 holds a special place in my heart, i look at Schubert as a fairly serious Composer, his Symphony 8 on this disc is in the Minor mode, it's dark and delicious, his Symphony 9 is exuberant, but still there's a mature seriousness there, but in at least the first movement of this Symphony, there's a lightness and a sprightliness of feeling that Haydn would have been proud of, there's a 'joy of life' to this movement which is contagious.
