Label: CMAJOR Catalog: 706808 Format: DVD BARENBOIM; GARANCA; ROESCHMANN; SELIG; PAPE; VIENNA PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA; CHORUS STATE OPERA VIENNAThe opening concert of the Salzburg Festival, for many regarded as the world’s most renowned music festival, is by tradition a high-profile event. In 2010 the Festival celebrated its 90th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the Great Festival Hall. Barenboim, in 2010 also celebrated his 60th anniversary onstage, excelled as a soloist and conductor of Beethoven’s lyrical Fourth Piano Concerto. Bruckner´s poignant Te Deum is performed by a quartet of world-class singers. Running Time Total: 90 minutes DVD: DTS 5.1, PCM Stereo Bruckner Te Deum: G, E, F, Sp, Korean, Chinese International Record Review January 2012 “there is no doubting the powerful authority that characterizes Barenboim's direction of Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto from the keyboard. Perhaps rather unexpectedly, the magic really starts with a reading of Boulez's Notations I-IV and VII (finishing with II), whose intoxicating allure and expressivity is strongly reminiscent of the kind of sound Karajan generated in his classic Second Viennese School recordings of the 1970s.” Price: $35.98 |
