KlangKollektiv Wien - Schubert Symphony No. 8 in B minor, D 758: I. Allegro moderato

When in March 2018 the first bars of Schubert's "Unfinished" reached the recording devices, it was not the everyday life of musicians fulfilling their daily tasks, but the birth of a new body of sound: the KlangKollektiv Wien. Under the baton of Rémy Ballot, musicians from Vienna's leading orchestras gathered to celebrate the music of Viennese Classicism and collectively re-discover it. In order to take into account the unique sound culture of this young ensemble, the producers of this recording at Gramola insisted on using the highest quality analog recording device. In each bar of the Symphony No. 1, D 82, and the "Unfinished", the consonant love of music can be felt, with which the KlangKollektiv Wien embarks on its self-imposed mission.
