This collection commemorates the long-standing cooperation between conductor Gary Bertini, who was born in today’s Moldova, and the SWR Radio Symphony Orchestra Stuttgart, which began in 1978 with Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique. Their final recording featured also on this box set was the 1996 performance of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor in Tokyo. Bertini conducted several Israeli orchestras for many years before subsequently moving to Germany and Japan (the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra). During his lifetime he did not always earn the respect he deserved because he did not play the part of the glamourous conductor that was the accepted stereotype. But as time went by his aim to be faithful to the composer’s intentions became widely appreciated.
