Schubert: Symphony No. 8, "Unfinished"
Cleveland Orchestra and Christoph Von Dohnanyi
This CD was out-of-print for a number of years. I've always suspected that the reason was due to the excessive dynamic range of this recording of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. It is so quiet for so long until it really gets going. Link is to the Telarc product page for what appears to be the same performance re-released. I have not listened to it to determine if it is the same recording. Also includes Beethoven's Eighth Symphony.
