The SCO's accounts of the 'Unfinished' and 'Great C major' Symphonies made critics sit up and take notice: 'a consistently refreshing view of both masterpieces' was the verdict of Gramophone, with the Daily Telegraph comparing the result to 'having a layer of varnish removed from a much-loved painting'.
These three Symphonies were all composed before Schubert was twenty and were probably intended for small student or private orchestras. This makes them ideal candidates for the small but deft treatment of the SCO along with the intricate and stylish details brought out by Dausgaard.
"Dausgaard and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra are the latest team to make them sound like grown-up scores, worthwhile in their own right. Dausgaard's orchestra is small - 38 players - buit it punches above its weight, bringing muscle to Schubert's early, Classical-style writing...Dausgaard and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra are never less than invigorating." (BBC Music Magazine, May 2014)
