Schubert - Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major: I. Allegro

Despite the poor sound quality (1946 iirc) the incomparable, masculine elegance and charm of this performance shine through all the time - Busch was undoubtedly one of the finest Mozart and Schubert conductors ever, actually, he was impeccable in all classical and early romantic repertoire - balanced, natural tempi, neither rushed for virtuosity's sake nor heavily inflected or dragging, transparent orchestral textures and an incomparable sense of grace.
