Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra & Mariss Jansons - Bruckner: Symphony No.9 (2016)

Ever since the tenure of its chief conductor Eduard van Beinum (1945 59), the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra has cherished one of the greatest Bruckner symphonic traditions in the world. With this release of Bruckner s Ninth Symphony, Mariss Jansons and the Concertgebouw Orchestra add a new chapter to the RCO s impressive performance and recording history of Bruckner s works. '[Jansons'] interpretation proved to be remarkable: never did the first movement's horn introduction sound so primordially mysterious .... Jansons' trade marks: his attention to sound and depth, at times evoking a wow feeling, as illustrated by the deeply religious shimmering of the Wagner tubas in the Adagio.' Mischa Spel, NRC
