Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major, D. 485 : Schubert: Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major, D. 485: I. Allegro

About "Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major, D. 485 : Schubert: Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major, D. 485: I. Allegro" by Berliner Philharmoniker

Schubert’s Fifth opens with a sunlit allegro—buoyant, chamber-like, and impossibly fresh. The Berliner Philharmoniker plays with Mozartean clarity: woodwinds skipping, strings shimmering, a smile in every phrase. Yet beneath the cheer runs a thread of wistfulness, like a picnic before a storm.
