Fritz Busch - Symphony 7 / Symphony 4 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Schubert / Munchner Symphoniker / Edusei - Symphony 4 & Symphony 7 [COMPACT DISCS] date 11/17/2017

Ex-The Boppers member Peter Jezewski is back with his best record in a long while! Yet again he has used top producer Anders Hansson and the songwriting trio Tim Norell, Ola Håkansson (Secret Service) and Alexander Bard (Army Of Lovers) that was responsible for hits such as Kissing In the Moonlight and Jeannie's Coming Back. The Digipack CD includes a nice 16-page booklet.

Anton Bruckner described his Fourth Symphony as InchRomantic,Inch and under this name it soon became his most popular work. Introduced by an idyllic horn call motif, the Fourth Symphony - Bruckner's first in a major key - is characterized by a warm, natural, luminous underpinning. Both the slow movement, with it's funeral march character, and the sometimes frighteningly dark and powerful final movement are in stark contrast to the symphony's initial warmth. As was often the case, Bruckner revised the symphony numerous times in the run-up to it's premiere, which was given by the Vienna Philharmonic in 1881. Fabio Luisi recorded the 1878 version, with the finale from the 1880 version, with the Philharmonia Zürich. This version has long-since established itself as the official concert version of Bruckner's Fourth Symphony.
