CD SYMFONIE 4/LOHENGRIN-PREL.

Description

Released on February 19, 2018, this CD features live recordings of Bruckner's Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major, known as the "Romantic," and Wagner's Prelude to Lohengrin, performed by the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under the baton of conductor Andris Nelsons. This album is the second installment in Nelsons' series of Bruckner symphony recordings with this renowned orchestra. Under Nelsons' direction, the orchestra delivers a clear and direct interpretation, illuminating the complex musical lines with appealing logic. The inclusion of Wagner's Prelude to Lohengrin provides an interesting contrast and highlights Wagner's influence on Bruckner's work.
