Dutch record label Pentatone has announced the launch of a complete cycle of Schubert symphonies with conductor René Jacobs and the Belgian period instrument ensemble B’Rock. This ambitious new project marks René Jacobs’ and B’Rock’s first collaboration with Pentatone, and is expected to conclude in 2021.
Recorded earlier this year in Innsbruck, the first instalment of the cycle (Symphonies Nos. 1 & 6) will be released in October. Adding to an abundant discography built over the last four decades, this is René Jacobs’ first-ever Schubert recording.
