All previously released recordings of Franz Schubert’s symphonies and orchestral works with the Kammerorchester Basel under the Swiss oboist, composer and conductor Heinz Holliger received brilliant reviews. Audio awarded 5 stars for music and sound: “With the first chords, a tremendous force unfolds. Adorable the finale!”, 5 Stars were also given in Fono Forum, “lucky Schubert – and lucky us… one of the finest recordings!” Gramophone judged, “a CD recorded with wonderful sound” in rbb Kultur and “This cycle is swinging to become something big” (5 stars) in stereo. With this sixth album, Heinz Holliger and the Kammerorchester Basel conclude the Schubert cycle with a particularly interesting repertoire of his orchestral works. Namely, the overture in D major, D. 12, as well as the Symphony in D major, D936a. The overture has both tender and great dramatic orchestral moments. Heinz Holliger says about her: “The doors open to a whole world of music, to the greatest thing that exists in music history at all.” The surviving fragments of the symphony in D major, arranged by the Swiss composer Roland Moser, appear as a world premiere recording and are an experiment between orchestral and chamber music . The album is complemented by the Grand Duo Sonata in C major, D. 812, originally a piano sonata, now arranged for nine instruments.
