Product Description
Contents: J?rvi and the German Chamber Philharmonic, who made a name for themselves worldwide with their complete performances and recordings of Beethoven's symphonies, are currently working on a complete performance of Schumann's symphonies. Their December 2010 Japan tour with the German Chamber Philharmonic was highly praised as "a musical experience worthy of a lifetime...unparalleled masterful artistry...the true essence of Paavo's conducting art," and was selected as one of the "Top 10 Concerts of 2011" by Ongaku no Tomo magazine. Following the release of Symphony No. 1 "Spring" & No. 3 "Rhenish" in November 2010, this album is the second in their complete recording series and focuses on Schumann's Symphony No. 2, considered one of the most difficult of Schumann's symphonies, along with four overtures. J?rvi, who openly declares his love for Schumann, believes that "unless we unashamedly reveal the emotional fluctuations and tremendous energy contained within the works, their true charm cannot be conveyed," and has embarked on a bold interpretation of the works. The Schumann world unfolds with the German Chamber Philharmonic, capable of delicately expressing the nuances of Schumann's orchestration. This is the definitive "21st-century Schumann" symphony interpretation. SA-CD hybrid disc. DSD recording. SA-CD multi: 5.0ch/SA-CD stereo/CD DDD. Media reviews and more.
