Contents Introduction [UHQCD] [MQACD] Hans Rott is a composer who has gained considerable popularity in Japan in recent years, but whose works are not widely recorded. In 2019, the Kanagawa Philharmonic (conducted by Kentaro Kawase) and the NHK Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Paavo J?rvi) coincidentally performed this work on the same day in February, creating a buzz. In September, the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Sebastian Weigle) also performed it, making it a "Rott festival" year. Born in Vienna in 1858, Hans Rott was a composer who struggled as a freelance musician before succumbing to mental illness and passing away at the age of 25. Hans Rott's name is best known for his Symphony No. 1 in E major, and this long-awaited new recording by the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and its principal conductor, Jakub Hr??a, centers on Rott, featuring Anton Bruckner's "Symphonic Preludes" (by Rott's organ teacher) and Gustav Mahler's "Bloom Movement" (by a friend and fellow Vienna Conservatory student), shedding new light on Rott's works, which should be at the heart of the symphonic repertoire.
