“MARISS JANSONS was one of the most important conductors of our time, revered and celebrated worldwide”.
The Edition’ documents Jansons’ era as Chief Conductor of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks and the Bavarian Radio Chorus, from 2003 to 2019. These live recordings from Munich, Tokyo, Vienna, New York, Waldsassen and the Vatican enable listeners to experience musical highlights that are as moving as they are exciting. The 57 CDs, 11 SACDs and 2 DVDs cover a remarkably diverse repertoire, ranging from symphonic music and large choral works to opera. „The Edition’ comprises works by 42 composers, and includes complete cycles of symphonies by Beethoven, Brahms and Mahler. The accompanying book enhances the musical impressions, with fascinating texts and numerous photos. The rehearsal recordings of the maestro and his orchestra, on three CDs, are of particular value because they provide a fascinating insight into that trusting, artistic symbiosis that developed over many years of making music together – and led to all the wonderful and outstanding concerts that so delighted audiences.”
