Info
After the critically acclaimed recording of Beethoven's nine symphonies, the Wiener Symphoniker present now under the direction of their outgoing Music Director Philippe Jordan another cyclical recording: The Symphonies by Johannes Brahms.
It had taken 14 years of preparatory work before Brahms ventured to complete his First Symphony in 1876. The four symphonies that emerged in the following decade are not only touching measurements of the human soul's landscape but also the central creative legacy of the great romantic composer. They have been inextricably linked to Vienna, which had been since 1872 the composer's adopted home, as well as to the history of the Wiener Symphoniker. They were recorded in autumn 2019 in the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein, which meets the acoustic requirements of Brahms' symphonies like no other concert hall. After all two of them had been premiered here while the other two had been performed here for the first time in Austria.
This latest CD production by the Wiener Symphoniker also marks the end of Philippe Jordan's tenure as Music Director of the orchestra. With this further culmination of their artistic collaboration, the aegis of Jordan as the musical director of the orchestra ends after six gratifying and formative years.
This latest CD production by the Wiener Symphoniker also marks the end of Philippe Jordan's tenure as Music Director.
