  • Description

    It is with the legendary recording of Bruckner’s Symphonies Nos. 4 and 7 by the Staatskapelle Dresden under its former principal conductor Herbert Blomstedt that we are now launching a cooperative venture guaranteed to create a sensation. Licensed by Nippon Columbia, MDG will release top-quality recordings from the extensive Denon catalogue. As already the first release demonstrates: more great things are yet to come! To launch the collaboration, this recording presents Bruckner’s Fourth and Seventh symphonies, which surely number among his most popular. The Staatskapelle Dresden was made in musical heaven for Bruckner’s music. Richard Wagner called it his “wonder harp,� and Herbert von Karajan characterised the sound of this oldest orchestra in the world as the “brilliant glow of old gold.� All this and much more is found in Herbert Blomstedt’s interpretation of both symphonies from 1981.
