Bruckner: Symphony No 4 “Romantic” & Symphony No 9 (SACD)
Product Description
Experience two of the finest Bruckner recordings ever made, drawn from what is often regarded as the crowning achievement of Eugen Jochum’s career: his second complete cycle of Bruckner symphonies. The legendary Staatskapelle Dresden delivers a warm, glowing sound that perfectly matches Jochum’s deeply felt, powerful vision, now presented in exquisite Super Audio CD hybrid sound.
Recognized as a leading Bruckner interpreter and a guardian of the German symphonic tradition, Jochum had already recorded a full Bruckner cycle with the Berlin Philharmonic and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. This later Dresden set, however, represents his final, fully matured approach to Bruckner, with performances widely considered to be among the very peak of his art. The combination of Staatskapelle Dresden’s beautiful East German era sonority and Jochum’s commanding yet sensitive direction yields climaxes of tremendous impact and slow movements of profound depth.
Contents:
Anton Bruckner – Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major “Romantic” (1878/80 version, Novak edition); Symphony No. 9 in D minor (Novak edition).
Performers: Staatskapelle Dresden; conductor: Eugen Jochum.
Recording: December 1–7, 1975 (No. 4) and January 13–16, 1978 (No. 9), Lukaskirche, Dresden.
