Performers:
Maurizio Pollini - piano
Lisa Batiashvili - violin
Staatskapelle Dresden
Christian Thielemann – conductor

Germany’s foremost conductor of German Romantic repertoire conducts his legendary Dresdner Staatskapelle in a complete cycle of Brahms symphonies. Recorded live during the 2012-13 season, this set presents the most coherent rendering of Thielemann’s powerful, dark, layered vision of Brahms, a counterweight to the lighter, "revisionist" Chailly cycle on Decca, Thielemann’s version is rooted in the great German Romantic tradition – tragic and elegiac emotion with an epic sense of musical architecture. The 3-CD symphonic set includes a pair of favorite Brahms overtures.

“Thielemann and his crew made this driving version [of the 4th Symphony] cohere and even gave one of the most convincing, well-delineated Andante moderato movements imaginable.” – Chicago Sun-Times

"Recorded live during the 2012/13 season, the piano concertos feature superb performances by Maurizio Pollini, and the violin concerto is played with warmth and vigour by Lisa Batiashvili. Thielemann's vision is truly Germanic - tragic, epic, powerful, and dark." – ClassicFM
