How can one describe the sheer brilliance of Concerto Budapest and András Keller's performance of Schubert's Symphony No. 8 In C Major D 944? It's like a whimsical journey through the rolling hills of Austria, complete with lederhosen-clad musicians and yodelling cows. The opening Allegro moderato cascades like a bubbling brook, with delicate orchestration that transports you to a quaint Alpine village. The Andante con moto is a romantic stroll through a sun-dappled forest, where the strings sing like chirping birds and the woodwinds dance like fluttering butterflies.
But don't be fooled by the gentle beauty of the first two movements, because the Allegro vivace is a fiery romp through the mountains, with the brass blaring like a boisterous Tyrolean bar band. And finally, the Allegro moderato wraps up the symphony with a grand flourish, like a triumphant procession through Vienna's grand boulevards.
Concerto Budapest and András Keller bring a fresh energy to this timeless classic, infusing it with a sense of joy and playfulness that is infectious. Their interpretation is both respectful of the original score and boldly imaginative, creating a performance that is as exhilarating as it is delightful. So grab your Dirndl and your favourite pint of Kölsch, and let Schubert's Symphony No. 8 sweep you off your feet and into the heart of the Austrian countryside. Prost, my music-loving comrades, prost!
