Schubert: Symphony No 1; Vorisek / Hengelbrock

"Playing on period instruments, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie under Thomas Hengelbrock give fiery, impulsive readings of both symphonies. . . . [T]he sharp tang of the period sonorities and the explosive energy of the playing – above all in the pungently accented [Vorisek] Scherzo – are very persuasive. . . . [T]he outer movements [of the Schubert] dance and leap exuberantly, with spruce, agile strings and scything high trumpets. . . . Recommended if you fancy this offbeat coupling – and anyone coming new to the Vorisek should be in for a pleasurable surprise." -- Richard Wigmore, Gramophone
