| Description: | In early June 2023, Daniel Barenboim conducted this French program in the Berlin Philharmonie; it was a concert that inspired the present recording for DG.
In 2024 we celebrate the great French composer Gabriel Fauré 100 years after he died with this recording of the incidental music for â??Pelléas et Mélisandeâ??.
Almost 50 years after his first DG recording of Franck's symphony with the Orchestre de Paris, Barenboim now presents a new interpretation with the Berliner Philharmoniker. In the outer movements in particular, he focuses on the large, monumental sound that emphasizes the hymnal aspect of Franck's symphony which fuses the spirit of Beethoven with French elegance.
Barenboim and the Berliner Philharmoniker have a longstanding friendship: the maestro made his debut as a pianist here 60 years ago and conducted his first concert with the world-class Berlin orchestra in 1969.
In this recording, conductor and orchestra are joined by Albrecht Meyer (oboe), Emanuel Pahud (flute) and Dominik Wollenweber (cor anglais). - Experience the profound artistry of "Franck: Symphony D / Fauré: Pelléas et Mélisande" on CD, performed by Daniel Barenboim and the Berliner Philharmoniker, released by Deutsche Grammophon. This recording brings together two masterpieces of French Romantic music: César Franck?s dramatic Symphony in D minor and Gabriel Fauré?s evocative suite from Pelléas et Mélisande. The interpretation by Barenboim?one of the most celebrated conductors and pianists worldwide?and the world-renowned Berlin Philharmonic ensures a performance rich in nuance, depth, and emotional intensity. Deutsche Grammophon stands as one of classical music's most prestigious labels, known for its commitment to excellence since 1898 and its impressive catalog featuring legendary artists. Daniel Barenboim has enjoyed an illustrious career spanning decades; he is acclaimed for his visionary interpretations with leading orchestras globally and numerous award-winning recordings. The Berliner Philharmoniker are synonymous with musical brilliance, having set standards in symphonic repertoire for over a century. |
