Verdi: Requiem
Krassimira Stoyanova (soprano), Marina Prudenskaja (mezzo-soprano), Saimir Pirgu (tenor) & Orlin Anastassov (bass)
Chor und Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Mariss Jansons
[Jansons's] Requiem is a series of coups d'etat in which the returns of the actual 'Dies irae' or the launch of 'Rex tremendae majestatis' are exciting aural shocks. He also devotes much time... —

Richard Strauss: Don Quixote & Dvorak: Symphony No. 8
Yo-Yo Ma (cello), Wen Xiao Zheng (viola) & Anton Barakhovsky (violin)
Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Mariss Jansons
It’s the Dvorak that’s the real draw here. The symphony’s rapturous reception – the genuine rapture of an audience bowled over and ablaze with joy – says it all. —

Anja Harteros (soprano) & Bernarda Fink (alto)
Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks (Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra), Mariss Jansons

[Jovanovich has] a substantial lyric tenor with the capacity to be lyrical or heroic according to need, and the ability to cut through pretty well any texture. Nevertheless, with a tone that... —

Live Recording from The KKL Concert Hall, Lucerne, 2012
Tatiana Monogarova (soprano), Marina Prudenskaja (mezzo-soprano), Ludovit Ludha (tenor) & Peter Mikuláš (bass)
Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, with Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Mariss Jansons
The Brahms Symphony in Jansons's hands is certainly an idyll, darker passages come and go without disturbing the orchestra's mellifluous warmth or Jansons's exquisite phrasings...Could more... —

Live from The Philharmonie Im Gasteig, Munich, 2011
Mitsuko Uchida (piano)
Symphonieorchester Des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Mariss Jansons

Symphonieorchester und des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Mariss Jansons
