Esa-Pekka SalonenAbout
Esa-Pekka Salonen on the disc:
“Our new recording of the piece is a live recording, of a performance we gave after we had played the piece on tour in places such as the Concertgebouw and Cologne. I very much like the idea of recording this piece live. In fact, the idea of recording that finale in a studio doesn’t feel right. So many of the most celebrated recordings of the piece – Bernstein, Karajan, Bruno Walter in 1938 – have been concert recordings. It’s no accident. This is about death and there must be a sense of no return. It’s your only shot. You just do it and live with the results. This is real life and death, not a video game.”
Concert Review:
“For a symphony that lasts in excess of 80 minutes, the Philharmonia played with remarkable concentration, vigour and passion … in the profoundly moving finale, an opulent string texture coupled with some beautiful solo horn playing guaranteed that this was a performance to remember.” - MusicalCriticism.com
