About This Item
In 1970 Kurt Masur took over the direction of one of the best orchestras in Germany and the world the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. One year later, in 1971, these recordings of the 12 Youth Symphonies by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy were made. They are testimony to the emergence of a fruitful artistic relationship between Kapellmeister and musicians that was to last 26 years. Bold artistic spirit meets musical excellence here, leading to a high level of listener enjoyment. Kurt Masur's masterful interpretation provides a revealing insight into the imagination of a talented young composer. These recordings now shine in new splendor through a loving analog remaster. Album Tracks 9. Symphoniesatz in C Moll / Symphonic Movement in C minor Grave - Allegro Molto
