Yesterdays performance in Köln of Siegfried was a stunning success. On original instruments and with superb cast of soloists conducted by Kent Nagano the Combination of Concerto Köln and the Dresdner Festspiel Orchestra played their hearts out!

Het was een eer en genoegen om deze opnames te mogen maken. Wederom een zeer geslaagde Polyhymnia International BV recording!

✨ monumentale Bruckner-cyclus "bevestigt dat Nelsons een grootmeester is" ✨

💬 De jury: "In het Brucknerjaar waarin er eindeloos veel nieuwe opnames verschijnen van Bruckners symfonieën springt de uitvoering van het Gewandhausorchester onder leiding van Nelsons er met kop en schouders bovenuit. Zes jaar werd aan deze monumentale cyclus gewerkt, - geheel het wachten waard - die bevestigt dat Nelsons een grootmeester is in de materie. Als traktatie zijn ook verschillende orkestfragmenten uit Wagners opera's te horen. Deze CD box is een nieuwe standaard van het symfonisch oeuvre van Bruckner."

It was again an honor and pleasure to record this Symphony with the RPhO!

In the third movement of his fifth symphony, Bruckner contrasts urgent exuberance with pastoral lyricism in a captivating score brought alive in this recording by the Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest conducted by Lahav Shani. 🎧 https://w.lnk.to/bru5FA

Listening to this recording we made in All Hallows church, Gospel Oak, in London for Philips Classics with Orchestre Révolutionnaire Et Romantique, The Monteverdi Choir and John Eliot Gardiner. 30 years ago already and one of many intense and wonderful production with this team I was lucky to be part of. Remember that for the off stage drums we place between 3 7 meter stands big canvas sheets (that we still have and use) to separate the sound a bit. Somebody opened the outside door and on the little b&w monitor in the control room we could see these sails catching the wind and slowly falling over. By sheer luck nobody got hit and no instruments were damaged..... John Eliot wanted the choir to move in the sound picture and drew this in my note book. We could this now so much more "spatial". But I still like the result.

At the very last Spiegelzaal broadcast, both a video stream and radio broadcast. Sad to see such a wonderful program end, but grateful to Het Concertgebouw, Hans van den Boom, and AVROTROS Klassiek for this wonderful program and partnership over the years.

Today and tomorrow the Rachmaninoff International Orchestra with maestro Kent Nagano conducting and Mikhail Pletnev playing is going to perform the Rachmaninoff piano conerti and the Paganini variations in the Rosey concert hall in Rolle Switserland. Looking forward as what we hears in rehearsals was already great.

Back in Luxembourg with the OPL and Gustavo Gimeno and the Neumann M-50’s are waiting for my friend Arabella Steinbacher, who will play the mesmerising George Lentz violin concerto. The concert on Friday will be televised by our great colleagues from Polycast (with Mahler symphony no 5), and in the future the concerto will be released on Pentatone.
