Bruckner / Matthews / Trofimov - Mass In F Minor - Music CD

At the end of January 2019, for the first time in his Munich era, Mariss Jansons, highly regarded as an expert on Anton Bruckner's symphonies, conducted one of the composer's masses: the magnificent Mass No. 3 in F minor (1867/68) for vocal soloists, chorus, organ and orchestra. - Jansons' interpretation is one of those in which he was able to make full use of his extensive experience and with which he also, in a sense, spoke his final word with regard to the performance tradition of Romantic music - the eminent conductor died only a few months later, in December 2019. Bruckner's monumental symphonic mass offers the Bavarian Radio Chorus and the young quartet of vocal soloists rewarding tasks, ranging from lyrical cantilena to the most magnificent jubilation. The fact that the music's spiritual side is reminiscent here of Bruckner's great model, Beethoven's "Missa solemnis", is no coincidence. This live recording from the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz was made between January 21 and 25, 2019 and has now been released on CD by BR-KLASSIK.
