“This excellent Swedish orchestra performs Schubert’s last two symphonies the modern way, with faster tempos, punchier accents and a leaner sound. The result is like having a layer of varnish removed from a much-loved painting.” – The Telegraph

“Here’s an excitingly combative, and ultimately very plausible new look at Schubert…Dausgaard somehow manages to approach the surviving two movements of Schubert’s B minor Symphony as though we didn’t all know that it remained ‘unfinished’…For once it was hard not to regret the absence of an energetic scherzo or finale” – BBC Music Magazine ****

“In this issue, helped also by the clean BIS recording, textures are transparent and attack crisp…A disc that may disconcert some Schubertians but which, very well recorded, offers a consistently refreshing view of both masterpieces.” – Gramophone Magazine
