Online Merker: „Großes Concert“ zum 200. Geburtstag von CLARA SCHUMANN mit ANDRIS NELSONS und dem GEWANDHAUSORCHESTER
With Bruckner, Andris Nelsons follows in the footsteps of Masur and Blomstedt. But he surpasses them both in dynamic sharpness, highly emotional immersion and, in view of the consistently moderate tempi, in the goosebump feeling of infinite and unswerving flow. No brutal caesuras cut the musical line. Despite all their passions, they are deliberate interpretations, but not calculated and even less controlled by effects. Cosmically perfect in form, the Ninth, which has remained a torso, especially has it all in its visionary, redemption-free archaic. Even Karajan applauds benevolently from his place at the Right of God, of course also for the Wagner excerpts.
