About

Thielemann‘s brilliant interpretation of Bruckner´s Symphony No. 2 is performed wonderfully by the Staatskapelle Dresden, completing their critically acclaimed Bruckner cycle with a concert at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. “In the Elbphilharmonie Thielemann once again proved to be the unrestricted Ruler on his ancestral territory, German Romantic repertoire” (Hamburger Abendblatt) and critics praised how lucent and with how much musical intensity Thielemann conducted this symphony in the acoustics of this hall – an exceptional positive example for subsequent conductors and orchestras. Christian Thielemann has been Principal Conductor of the Staatskapelle Dresden since the 2012/2013 season. As a UNITEL exclusive artist, Thielemann has a comprehensive catalogue of recordings.

December 2019

Common with previous releases in the cycle is the warm and alert playing from the Staatskapelle Dresden. There is a real sense of the players listening and responding to each other during the performance. As before, Thielemann conducts from memory throughout, directing the orchestra with his usual serious expression and occasionally inflexible baton technique.
