Schubert: Symphony No. 9

Scottish Chamber Orchestra;
Emelyanychev, Maxim

CKD 619

The 2019/20 Season marks the start of Maxim Emelyanychev’s role as Principal Conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the release of his Linn recording debut. • Emelyanychev, an outstanding representative of the younger generation of Russian conductors, discovered an instant rapport with the SCO when he substituted for Robin Ticciati in 2018. • It was this performance of Schubert’s ‘Great’ C major Symphony that secured Emelyanychev’s appointment and created a fervent anticipation for this recording. • The concert prompted The Scotsman to comment: ‘Emelyanychev [was] constantly balancing surface charm and vigour with a far darker, more manic undertow – not least in the towering cumulative energy of his propulsive finale.’ • Schubert’s Ninth Symphony was the composer’s final major contribution to the genre and his maturity is reflected in its intensely lyrical melodies and monumental scale. • Emelyanychev procures a very precise blend and balance by applying a historical aesthetic similar to the one that has previously seen accolades heaped upon this award-winning orchestra.
