ブルックナー: 交響曲第5番 / ロリン・マゼール (指揮)/ウィーン・フィルハーモニー管弦楽団
[デッカ ザ・ベスト1200] クラシックの名門DECCAの黄金期である60~70年代録音の名盤を中心にセレクト。高精度なルビジウム・カッティングによって、よりマスターに忠実な音を再現! オリジナル・ジャケットを生かした高級感あるジャケット。50歳を超えたブルックナーが書いた第5交響曲は、対位法的に綿密に作曲され、作曲者自身「対位法交響曲」と呼んでいた。確かに第1楽章や第4楽章での効果は素晴らしく、その後の改訂が他の作品に比べて少ないのも納得できる。このディスクでは、40代半ばのマゼールが、早くも巨匠的な風格を漂わせながらウィーン・フィルを指揮している様子がうかがえる。1974年3月 ウィーンでの録音。

Bereits mit 9 Jahren debütierte er als Dirigent beim LA Philharmonic, mit 11 Jahren lud ihn Toscanini ein, das NBC Symphony Orchestra zu dirigieren: Lorin Maazel ist zweifellos einer der größten Dirigenten seines Jahrhunderts. Das erste Album mit der Deutschen Grammophon war eine gefeierte Tschaikowsky-Aufnahme – es folgten viele Aufnahmen mit den Berliner Philharmonikern, dem RSO Berlin und weiteren namhaften Orchestern.

Die Deutsche Grammophon veröffentlicht nun erstmals alle Aufnahmen von Lorin Maazel in einer limitierten Gesamtedition. 39 CDs mit Originalcovers werden von einem 80-seitigen Booklet mit einem neuen Essay von Tully Potter begleitet. Die Highlights der Sammlung beinhalten seine von Kritikern gelobten Aufnahmen der Ravel-Opern »Enfant et les Sortilèges« und »L’heure espagnole« sowie Interpretationen der 5. Sinfonie Beethovens und Schuberts »Unvollendeter«.

Today Gustav Mahler is universally recognized as one of the supreme masters of the symphony, but this status was hard-won, and, for the most part, posthumous. His First Symphony was such a disastrous failure at its premiere in 1889 that afterward, by the composer’s own account he “went around like a sick person or an outcast.”

The War Requiem, Op. 66, is a large-scale, non-liturgical setting of the Requiem composed by Benjamin Britten mostly in 1961 and completed in January 1962. The War Requiem was performed for the consecration of the new Coventry Cathedral, which was built after the original fourteenth-century structure was destroyed in a World War II bombing raid. The traditional Latin texts are interspersed, in telling juxtaposition, with settings of poems by Wilfred Owen, written in World War I. The work is scored for soprano, tenor and baritone soloists, chorus, boys’ choir, organ, and two orchestras (a full orchestra and a chamber orchestra). The chamber orchestra accompanies the intimate settings of the English poetry, while soprano, choirs and orchestra are used for the Latin sections; all forces are combined in the conclusion. The Requiem has a duration of approximately 90 minutes.

In concerts by large symphony orchestras, it is often serious works that dominate. But striking a lighter tone is also an art in itself, and composers such as Mozart, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky and Gershwin were masters of this. Soon after the orchestra was founded, the Berliner Philharmoniker initiated a concert series of popular music, a tradition which can still be seen today, such as in the Waldbühne and New Year’s Eve concerts. This playlist features a selection of particularly popular pieces ranging from the Baroque to the present day.

World-famous conductor Lorin Maazel was chief conductor of the Münchner Philharmoniker until shortly before his death in July 2014 at the age of 84.
This live recording, which happened in February 2014, is probably the last recording of Maazel. It documents an acclaimed and moving concert in the Munich Philharmonie with Lorin Maazel and the Münchner Philharmoniker and their choir per-forming Verdi’s famous requiem. The excellent soloists were Anja Harteros (soprano), Daniela Barcellona (mezzo-soprano), Wookyung Kim (tenor) and Georg Zeppenfeld (bass).
