Mariss Jansons - Symphony 1 / Symphony 3 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The music of Gustav Mahler, the Late Romantic composer on the threshold of modernity, has been a firm part of the repertoire of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks ever since the early 1960s, when the orchestra's Mahler tradition was established by it's former chief conductor Rafael Kubelik. The 2007 recording that has now been reissued by BR-Klassik or Mahler's First Symphony, with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks under it's chief conductor Mariss Jansons, can be regarded as an album premiere- in that this recording has only so far been available as a bonus forming part of the audio biography of Gustav Mahler InchWorld and Dream.Inch This new is thus aimed primarily at listeners eager to experience Mahler's First Symphony under Mariss Jansons who would prefer to purchase the orchestral work separately from the audio biography.

The Munich concert year of 2005 began at the end of January with two highlights the two performances of Bruckner's Third Symphony with Mariss Jansons conducting the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks in the Philharmonie i'm Gasteig. The live recording makes it possible to experience one of the landmarks of the Late Romantic symphonic repertoire, conducted by an outstanding Bruckner connoisseur. Bruckner completed the score of the opening movement, the Adagio and the Scherzo of his nascent Third Symphony between February and July 1873, and sketched out it's finale on August 31, 1873 in Marienbad, Bohemia. The composer then travelled to Bayreuth, and presented Richard Wagner with his Second Symphony and the already completed manuscripts for the Third. Bruckner asked Wagner to select the symphony he preferred, intending to dedicate it to him - but since both men drank quite a bit of beer during their thorough perusal of the manuscripts, Bruckner was later unable to remember which work Wagner had ultimately chosen, and this had to be clarified in writing. The Third Symphony was completed on December 31, 1873. This first version of Bruckner's Third Symphony became famous because it contained quotations from Wagner's opera InchTristan und IsoldeInch and his tetralogy InchDer Ring des NibelungenInch. These quotations were, however, incorporated into blocks that were separated by general rests, so could be later removed without interfering with the substance of the symphony. In 1877, Bruckner fundamentally revised the work, shortened it and eliminated the Wagner quotations. Then, in 1888, he worked out a third and final version, which forms the basis of the present interpretation.
