#RecordOfTheYearAfter a life devoted to early music Jordi Savall turned his hands to Mozart and Beethoven symphonies. Now here's Schubert that stirs my senses and rouses my emotions like no other recording I know.
His orchestra also sound unlike any other, adding menace to the darkness and pain of the Unfinished and so much rustic brio to the Great that I wanted it to go on forever.
Great music making from a great musician.
