About

This fifth installment of the Michel Gielen Edition contains works by Bela Bartok and Igor Stravinsky. Gielen greatly admired these composers, whose works he frequently performed. We thus continue the editorial play for the Michael Gielen Edition. Volume 5 includes many first releases or recordings of Gielen from the 1960s and 1970s. Gielen is celebrating his 90th birthday in July, 2017. The album also contains a spoken section from Michael Gielen's last concert with his SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg in 2014.

Awards and reviews

Classical Ear May 2017

There are riches galore in this fourth volume from SWR Music devoted to the recorded legacy of Michael Gielen (who turns 90 this September). The focus is on the Romantic repertoire in technically excellent recordings featuring three admirable German radio orchestras dating from 1968-2014. Two large scale choral masterpieces, Berlioz’s Requiem and Schumann’s Scenes from Faust, receive marvellously committed renderings, full of absorbing insight and abundant musicality.
