About this product
The Dutch conductor Bernard Haitink and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra enjoyed a long andintensive artistic collaboration, which came to an abrupt end with Haitink's death in October 2021. BRKLASSIK now presents outstanding and previously unreleased live recordings of their concerts from pastyears. This recording of Dvorak's Seventh Symphony documents a concert given in March 1981 in theHerkulessaal of the Munich Residenz. The InchScherzo capricciosoInch is a studio recording, also from March1981.Following the success of Antonin Dvorak's first visit to London in 1884, the London Philharmonic Societyasked him to return the following year and to compose a new symphony for the occasion. It was anhonourable request - after all, the London Philharmonic Society had commissioned Beethoven's NinthSymphony six decades earlier! When Dvorak began sketching out the symphony on December 13, 1884, hewas well aware of the high expectations involved - both his own and those of others. Most music criticsand Dvorak biographers, however, have struggled with the interpretation of this exceptional piece. Forexample, it has been interpreted InchpoliticallyInch against the background of the growing German-Czechtensions of those years. But the existential power of the D minor Symphony - it's anger, it's expansivepessimism, i.e. it's confessional character - may also derive from the biography and personality of it'scomposer, which were probably far more complex, painful and problematic than any InchBohemian idyllInch wemight assume. Even in Dvorak's Eighth Symphony, which is considered to be more cheerful, and in his lastsymphony, InchFrom the New WorldInch, one can still detect a more or less latent tendency towards tragiclonging. The world premiere of the Seventh Symphony took place on April 22, 1885 in London, with thecomposer conducting. It became one of Dvorak's greatest successes

![Jean-Paul Gasparian - Rachmaninov: Piano Sonata No.2 Moments Musicaux Op.16 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/be13995b-460c-4f85-b37f-16dacf8003b0.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The virtuoso pianist and composer Sergei Rachmaninov, one of the last great figures of Russian Romanticism, was prone throughout his life to painful bouts of depression. His troubled nature found in music of flamboyant intensity, combining dazzling, feverish, almost expressionistic passages with perfectly limpid melodies. The emotionally intense Sonata No.2 and the Six Moments musicaux illustrate this perfectly, while encapsulating the composer's very distinctive poetry. After an acclaimed first recording devoted to the Russian School, Jean-Paul Gasparian confirms his impressive command of this repertoire. There is profundity, density and warmth in his playing - qualities perfectly suited to the incandescent lyricism and the ardor and nobility that characterize the works of this Russian composer.

Dutch conductor Bernard Haitink and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra enjoyed a long and intensive artistic collaboration, which came to an abrupt end with Haitink's death in October 2021. BR-KLASSIK now presents outstanding and previously unreleased live recordings of concerts from past years. This recording of Bruckner's Seventh Symphony documents concerts given in November 1981 at the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz. Haitink first conducted a Munich subscription concert in 1958, and from then on was a regular guest with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra - either at the Herkulessaal of the Residenz or at the Philharmonie i'm Gasteig. This congenial collaboration lasted more than six decades. The orchestra musicians and singers enjoyed working with him just as much as the BR sound engineers. As an interpreter of the symphonic repertoire, and especially that of the German-Austrian Late Romantic period, Haitink was held in high esteem throughout the world. With him, the symphonies of Anton Bruckner were always in the best of hands. His driving principle was to make the sound architecture of a musical composition, with it's complex interweaving, transparently audible; extreme sensitivity of sound was combined with a clearly structured interpretation of the score. The premiere of Bruckner's Seventh Symphony in 1884 was an immediate success with the public. It was with this powerful work that Bruckner, already in his 60s and long denied fame and recognition, achieved his long-awaited breakthrough. The key work in this late triumph was the Seventh Symphony. Composed between September 1881 and autumn 1883, it paved the way for a wider acceptance of his music. One reason for it's success was that Bruckner was chosen by Richard Wagner's followers to fill the gap left by the Bayreuth master's death in February 1883. The Seventh Symphony thus bears witness to Bruckn

Under the direction of Anne Kohler, the National Youth Choir explores the forest and nature musically and presents it's first CD with this project. The CD features works composed especially for the Federal Youth Choir, such as Jan Kopp's Ode to Sawdust. Compositions for mixed choir a cappella by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Robert Schumann, Max Reger, Maurice Ravel and Raymond Murray Schafer, among others, can also be heard. The choir interprets the compositions at the highest musical level, describing the forest not only as a place of silence and longing, but also as a mysterious place of magic with wolves, singing stones and clear water or as a metaphor for the human conscience and it's vulnerability.
