Riccardo ChaillyAbout
Following the 2011 landmark Beethoven cycle, Riccardo Chailly returns with a recording of the complete Brahms symphonies and orchestral works, including the overtures and Haydn Variations.
Rarities
include world premiere recordings of two piano intermezzi orchestrated
by Paul Klengel (brother of the Gewandhaus’ long-standing principal
cellist Julius Klengel), the 9 Liebeslieder waltzes, the original first
performance version of the Andante of Symphony No.1, and the even rarer
revised opening of the Fourth Symphony.
Chailly has radically
rethought his approach to these works, re-examining the scores and
returning to the recorded interpretations of a generation of conductors
alive during Brahms’ lifetime, principally Felix Weingartner and one of
his Gewandhaus predecessors, Bruno Walter.
