Symphonieorchester Des Bayerischen Rundfunks - Ozawa - Beethoven and Strauss - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

To mark the 75th anniversary of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (BRSO) in 2024, the BR-KLASSIK tag is now making previously unreleased recordings of concerts worth listening to available for the first time on CD and as a stream. - Excerpts from Richard Strauss's comic opera InchDie schweigsame FrauInch (InchThe Silent WomanInch) were pre-produced as studio recordings for a television programme in November 1960. The impressive cast was almost identical to that of the opera production at the Salzburg Festival in 1959 under the premiere conductor Karl Bohm Hans Hotter (Sir Morosus), Hermann Prey (Barber), Fritz Wunderlich (Henry) as well as Ingeborg Hallstein (Aminta) and many others sang. Here, Heinz Wallberg conducts the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, and in contrast to the live recording from Salzburg, which is marred by the clearly audible stage noises of a turbulent production, the outstanding cast of singers in this recording is more effective. The BR-KLASSIK tag is now marking the 75th anniversary of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (BRSO) in 2024 by making this previously unreleased studio production available for the first time on CD and as a stream.After the death of Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Strauss thought he had reached the end of his operatic career - but then he found a librettist of equal calibre in Stefan Zweig, who provided him with Inchthe best libretto for an opera comique since FigaroInch (Strauss). The comic opera was written between 1932 and 1935 and, despite the fact that Zweig was a Jewish librettist (who had since emigrated), Strauss managed to have the opera premiered in Dresden on June 24, 1935, conducted by Karl Bohm. However, because the composer insisted on printing Zweig's name on the posters and in the programme, the Nazis boycotted the performance. And after the Gestapo intercepted a letter that Strauss had written to Zweig

HECTOR BERLIOZ SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE op. 14 The BR-KLASSIK tag is now commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (BRSO) in 2024 by releasing previously unreleased recordings of concerts worth listening to on CD and as a stream for the first time. Hector Berlioz's passionate InchSymphonie fantastiqueInch, the nearly revolutionary symphonic masterpiece by the great French composer, was performed by Colin Davis with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra at Munich's Philharmonie i'm Gasteig on January 15 and 16, 1987. In his InchSymphonie fantastiqueInch, subtitled InchEpisodes from the Life of an ArtistInch, Berlioz combines the structures of the musical symphony with the form of a five-part classical drama. Using a leitmotif (an Inchidée fixeInch), he narrates to the listener the story of the beloved woman of his dreams. The InchSymphonie fantastiqueInch thus paved the way for the symphonic poems of the Romantic period as well as the leitmotif method in Wagner's music dramas. InchI am still unknown, Inch wrote Berlioz in June 1829 at the age of 25 - but he was certain that he could achieve resounding success with the idea of a major instrumental work. With his InchSymphonie fantastiqueInch, he created a new kind of programmatic music. Berlioz was inspired by the works of Goethe and by Beethoven's symphonic music - and also by the fascination he felt for the Irish actress Harriet Smithson, whom he saw play Ophelia in Shakespeare's Hamlet at the Odéon Theatre in Paris on September 11, 1827. The InchIdée fixeInch, the main theme, represents the artist going through his life story in various inner states of mind.
