The Munich Philharmonic’s own label is celebrating Bruckner’s 200th birthday on 4 September with two previously unreleased recordings: Symphonies Nos. 7 & 8 from 1984 and 1985, from the Herkulessaal of the Residenz Munich.
Two rarities have been unearthed from the orchestra’s archive and remastered: Anton Bruckner's Symphonies Nos. 7 & 8 with Sergiu Celibidache from 1984 and 1985, from the Herkulessaal of the Residenz Munich.
This release from the archive of the Munich Philharmonic honours two iconic works from the repertoire of French symphonic music of the late 19th century: César Franck’s Symphony in D minor and Claude Debussy’s Nocturnes.
A recording with Sergiu Celibidache with the Symphony No. 5 by Sibelius as well as Strawinsky‘s »The Firebird«. mSpatial creates a virtual immersive acoustic, which is true to the original acoustic experience in the concert hall.
The Celibidache era and its part in forming the core essence of the orchestra, two recordings under the baton of Maestro Celibidache: Gustav Mahler’s »Kindertotenlieder« and Richard Strauss’ »Tod und Verklärung«.
Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 8 »Unfinished« (recorded 30 September 1988, Philharmonie im Gasteig) and Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 »From the New World« (recorded 16 June 1985, Herkulessaal der Residenz).
Maurice Ravel is an undisputed part of Sergiu Celibidache’s core repertoire as well as historically that of the Munich Philharmonic. The history of the orchestra is inextricably linked to the composer and his work.
