Synopsis

Album Description

One of the most eagerly anticipated releases in the SWR faszination musik series to date! Pre-release sales have topped 8000 copies worldwide, with more requests coming in daily. Why all the excitement? Well, from his days as a vocal coach with the Staedtische Oper, under the tutelage of such giants as Klemperer, Kleiber and Furtwaengler, to his co-directorship of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra with Yevgeny Mravinsky, to his work with the venerable Dresden Staakapelle and the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, Sanderling has earned can boast an extraordinary Bruckner pedigree. Not surprisingly, this live concert recording captures all the electricity of a master musician and an all-star orchestra in peak performance. This is a recording no Brucknerian will want to be without!

Bruckner 7th and Sanderling!!You can't go wrong

Brucknerian2006 | florida, USA | 05/07/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"First of all I must give due credit to Bruckner's 7th. It is one of the most lyrical and beautiful symphonies ever written. Who can forget that absolutely perfect Brucknerian harmony in the first movement where the string crescendo Modulates(?) on the E major figure (Bb,Ab,E,B,etc). Now the slow movement is perhaps one of Bruckner's most lovable movements, so melancholic and yet triumphant, not withstanding the funeral coda (in memoriam de Wagner). The scherzo containing one of Bruckner's most heavenly trios. And the finale, such a well balanced and sanguine movement. Secondly kudos to Kurt Sanderling. The only other recording I have heard of his is the Shostakovich 8th(amazing).

His orchestra does a fine job of Bruckner's masterful 7th. Acoustics are resplendant,the brass are warm, the strings represent exactly what a Bruckner string section should sound like. The different sections of the orchestra are heard most clearly and magnificently. Overall a suberb Bruckner 7th, do yourself a favor and try Sanderling with the SWR radio-sinfonie orch!"
