简介:  Riccardo Chailly专辑介绍:Following the 2011 landmark Beethoven cycle, Riccardo Chailly returns with a new perspective on Brahms.      It is a quarter of a century since Chailly recorded the symphonies with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. He has radically rethought his approach to these works, re-examining the scores and returning to the recorded interpretations of a generation of conductors alive during Brahms’s lifetime, principally Felix Weingartner and one of his Gewandhaus predecessors, Bruno Walter.      This comprehensive overview of Brahms’s orchestral works includes several rarities, among them world premieres of two piano intermezzi orchestrated by Paul Klengel (brother of the Gewandhaus’s long-standing principal cellist Julius Klengel); the Liebeslieder Walzer from Op. 52/65; the original first performance version of the Andante of Symphony No. 1 and the even rarer revised opening of the Fourth Symphony.      The set is completed with the Tragic and Academic Festival overtures, Haydn Variations and the three Hungarian Dances orchestrated by Brahms himself.      The Chailly/Gewandhausorchester Beethoven cycle won critical plaudits, including five-star reviews in both the Independent – “… the effect is revelatory … restoring a dash and brio to works whose revolutionary aspects can once again be clearly glimpsed”
