Immerse yourself in the timeless masterpieces of classical music with the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra's captivating album, featuring two iconic symphonies. This 1990 release from Naxos showcases the orchestra's exceptional skill and musical prowess, presenting Beethoven's monumental Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67, and Schubert's hauntingly beautiful "Unfinished" Symphony No. 8 in B Minor, D. 759.

With only two completed movements, this symphony is a poignant exploration of melancholy and longing, beautifully rendered by the orchestra.

The Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra's precise and passionate performances make this a compelling addition to any classical music lover's collection.
