Jaime Martin - Dvorak: Symphonies 2 & 8 - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

Principal players of the London Symphony Orchestra display their virtuosic talents on this album of concertos for wind instruments by Mozart, recorded in concert with conductor Jaime Martín in the excellent acoustic of the Jerwood Hall at LSO St Luke's. Three of Mozart's wind concertos are included the Oboe Concerto (K 314) with soloist Olivier Stankiewicz, the Clarinet Concerto (K 622) performed by former LSO Principal Andrew Marriner, and the Horn Concerto No 2 (K 417), played by Timothy Jones. Complementing these works is a performance of the beautiful Sinfonia Concertante (K 297b), in which oboist Juliana Koch, clarinettist Chris Richards, and bassoonist Rachel Gough join Timothy Jones in the solo roles. Also included is a recording of Mozart's popular Serenade No. 10 InchGran PartitaInch, performed by the LSO Wind Ensemble.

Coviello's much-praised Dvorák cycle is complete! Marcus Bosch and the Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg have waited for the finale to present the second symphony and now combine it with the symphonic poem 'The Golden Spinning Wheel,' written about thirty years later. In the story, which is based on a poem found in Kytice, a collection of folk ballads by Karel Jaromir Erben, a king happens upon a young lady while out riding and falls in love with her. But when the king asks the lady's step mother to bring her to his castle, she murders the girl and presents her own daughter to the king. The bloody tale is unique in Dvorak's oeuvre. German conductor Marcus Bosch began his tenure with the Staatsphilharmonie Nurnberg in 2011. He also currently serves as professor of conducting at the Musikhochschule Munchen.
