Mozart - Last Three Syms - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The four symphonies of Johannes Brahms give emphasis to his significance as a composer more than any other works he wrote. He struggled for a long time before producing his first symphonic work - with Beethoven's larger-than-life example before his eyes, the InchgiantInch, whom he could hear marching behind him, as he once quipped. It took Brahms twenty years to complete his first symphony in 1876 - at the age of 43 - and another eight for the three further symphonies. All four of these historic works are presented on this from Jukka-Pekka Saraste and the WDR Sinfonieorchester. In the more than sixty years of it's existence, the WDR Symphony Orchestra of Cologna has established itself as one of the most important European radio orchestras. Stylistic versatility is the special trademark of the WDR Symphony Orchestra. Jukka-Pekka Saraste became principal conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestra at the beginning of the 2010/2011 season. The orchestra and conductor can already look back at many years of working successfully together.

On it's 60th birthday, the Folkwang Kammerorchester Essen is giving itself and it's audience a youthful present virtuoso orchestral music by the ever-young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The elite chamber orchestra's second GENUIN , following the highly acclaimed recording of Mozart's Horn Concertos with Christoph Ess as soloist, features symphonies from all phases of Mozart's life from early works to the great symphony in G minor. The award-winning conductor Johannes Klumpp let's his ensemble play this filigree yet passionate music extremely fast and at the same time with deep feelings. A real pleasure! Energetic concerts, bold and inquisitive programming and musical excellence are the trademarks of the Folkwang Kammerorchester Essen. In it's concerts, the young international ensemble under the direction of Principal Conductor Johannes Klumpp explores musical boundaries and introduces experimental formats, genres, and styles with considerable success.
