Dresdner Philharmonie - Symphonies Unfinished & Great - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

Mozart / Magnin - 6 Sons F. Flute & Cembalok [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/01/2012

Marek Janowski presents Schumann Complete Symphonies, a comprehensive collection recorded together with the Dresdner Philharmonie. After a fruitful decade as a composer for piano and voice, Schumann then began writing symphonic works in 1841, marking a new phase in his life. Recorded between 2021 and 2023, Janowski interprets Schumann's symphonies with great vitality and intensity in this that celebrates the culmination of his tenure as chief conductor with the orchestra.Marek Janowski is one of the most celebrated conductors of our time. This remarkable recording of Schumann's complete symphonies follows 2023's Schubert Unfinished & Great Symphonies (also with the Dresdner Philharmonie), complete recordings of Bruckner, Brahms and Beethoven's symphonies, several works by Richard Strauss, and Wagner's ten mature operas. From 2019 to 2023 Janowski was chief conductor and artistic director of the Dresdner Philharmonie, and also realized complete recordings of Beethoven's Fidelio (2021), Puccini's Il Tabarro and Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana (both 2020) with the orchestra.

After their prize-winning Mendelssohn symphonies cycle and acclaimed Mozart symphonies album, the NDR Radiophilharmonie and it's chief conductor Andrew Manze now present Beethoven's Fifth and Seventh symphonies. While Beethoven's Fifth is arguably the most famous symphony in the history of music, the Seventh counts as one of the most rhythmically-advanced pieces of nineteenth-century music; an Inchapotheosis of danceInch, to quote Richard Wagner. Both works display Beethoven's mastery of and audacious approach to musical form as well as the richness of his melodic invention, and are generally praised as paragons of symphonic composition. Andrew Manze brings his experience in the field of historically informed performance to the polished symphonic sound of the NDR Radiophilharmonie, providing an ambience that fits these early nineteenth-century works like a glove.
