| Description: | Maestro Herbert Blomstedt and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig present the first fruit of their integral Brahms symphonies project with a recording of the composerâ??s First Symphony in C Minor, alongside his Tragic Overture. Once celebrated as â??Beethovenâ??s Tenthâ?, Brahmsâ?? first attempt at the symphonic genre was generally greeted as the most promising answer to Beethovenâ??s legendary legacy, and solidified his musical reputation. For Blomstedt, bringing these Brahms pieces into the world in the strange year of 2020 has a special significance, as Robert Schumann, Brahmsâ?? close friend and mentor, once pointed out that it is the musicianâ??s mission â??to bring light into the depths of the human soulâ?. The euphoric finale of Brahmsâ?? First Symphony, evidently inspired by Beethovenâ??s â??Ode to Joyâ?, fully conveys this message of hope and Blomstedtâ??s unshakable belief in the imperishable power of the human spirit.
Blomstedtâ??s work as a conductor is inseparably linked to his religious and human ethos, and his interpretations combine great faithfulness to the score and analytical precision with a soulfulness that awakens the music to pulsating life. In the more than sixty years of his career, he has acquired the unrestricted respect of the musical world. - ..

The Gewandhausorchester Leipzig is the oldest civic orchestra in the world with a glorious history, and is still counted among the world's leading ensembles. Both make their PENTATONE debut. |
