Description: | Buttner: Symphony No. 2 by Joerg-Peter Weigle & Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt, released 22 November 2024.
This version of Buttner: Symphony No. 2 comes as a 1xCD. - Paul Buttner was a man of many talents. Trained as a composer under Felix Draeseke, he was one of the last Romantic symphonists after the turn of the century. He conducted workers' choirs, taught choral singing at the Dresden Conservatory (later becoming director), and worked as a critic for the Dresdner Volkszeitung. He inspired amateur musicians so passionately that he can rightly be described as a "musical educator of the people". This intellectual vigor is directly reflected in Buttner's compositions, which, while modeled on great predecessors, challenge the boundaries of tradition in every measure - and convincingly so. His symphonic works, in particular, earned him wide recognition until the rise of the Nazi regime brought turbulence. His rediscovery is long overdue.The CD "Symphony No. 2 · A Vision · Heroic Overture" presents a captivating selection of orchestral works performed by the renowned Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt. This recording showcases the ensemble's exceptional artistry and interpretative depth, bringing to life powerful symphonic landscapes that span from dramatic heroism to visionary lyricism. The orchestra, known for its rich tradition and innovative programming, has garnered acclaim through numerous international tours and award-winning recordings. Released by classic production osnabrück (cpo), a label celebrated for its dedication to high-quality classical music productions and rediscovering lesser-known masterpieces, this album is an essential addition for any serious collector or enthusiast of orchestral music. |
