Title: The most satisfying complete Schubert cycle
Product review: The me, this is clearly the best of the complete Schubert cycles available. That is in part due to the fact that Beecham never recorded No. 4 or No. 9, and also due to Bohm being a very understanding Schubertian. That being said, there are some other "must have" discs (according to your taste), even if you own this cycle. Those would be all of Beecham's -Sir Thomas Beecham Conducts SchubertandGreat Recordings Of The Century - Schubert: Symphonies nos. 3, 5, & 6 / Beecham, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Also, Furtwangler's great 8th & 9th:Schubert: Symphony No. 9; Haydn: Symphony No. 88 / FurtwänglerandBrahms: Symphony No.3 / Schubert: Symphony No.8. But, if you just want a solid, well played complete set then this Bohm set (usually can be found for under $20 at amazon.com marketplace) is the ticket. 4 1/2 stars.
