Kubelik's complete symphony of Schumann has a good reputation for SONY recording with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra recorded in 1978-79 after this, but Kubelik, who had enough energy for this DG recording, was in the Karajan era. Using the Berliner Philharmoniker, it is a performance that leaves a strong impression as it gives the impression that it is driving boldly with a powerful driving force. Completed in 1963-64, it was the first complete Schumann symphony for DG and the Berliner Philharmoniker. From 1963, Kubelik signed a contract with DG and started recording sessions with the Berliner Philharmoniker. In this year, in addition to Schumann's No. 4, Wagner's orchestral works, Handel's Water Music, etc., and Schumann & Grieg's piano concertos with G. Anda were recorded, and later it was said to be a masterpiece. I have recorded a lot of.

Originally, Kubelik is said to have aspired to become a conductor after listening to the performances of Furtwangler and the Berliner Philharmoniker at the age of 14, and chose Schumann's No. 4, which is famous for both performances, as his earliest recording. That may be meaningful (Furtwängler recorded No. 4 on DG at the same Church of Jesus just 10 years ago). At that time, many of the major conductors in the German sphere often performed only No. 4 of Schumann's symphony in their demonstrations, and there was no complete symphony in DG until then. , A young Kubelik may have been appointed. Nevertheless, Schumann's works, which can be said to be typical of German Romanticism, are an important repertoire for the orchestra, and it can be said that Kubelik, who was in his late 40s at the time, was highly evaluated. These recordings, along with Dvořák's complete symphonies to be recorded later, are undoubtedly representative recordings of the combination of the two.
