Marek JanowskiAbout
The Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and conductor Marek Janowski, one of the great masters and exponents of the music of the German tradition, recorded the four operas Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung at the Berlin Philharmonie in 2012 and 2013. All recordings were made during a unique series of live concertante performances, which allows for an orchestral clarity that is impossible to achieve when the orchestra is placed in a pit. This is the first multichannel surround sound recording ever of the Ring is now released by PENTATONE in a luxurious collector's book (30cm x 300cm) containing 13 SACDs and more than 250 pages rich with content including liner notes, biographies and full librettos in English and German, among others.
‘Janowski’s dramatic instincts and his ability to obtain orchestral playing of great intensity and presence are as keenly honed as ever – there are some thrilling interludes in this Rheingold.’ - The Guardian
‘The real secret ingredient here is the conductor himself. This is both a great start to Janowski’s new Ring cycle and a competitive Rheingold in its own right.’ - Gramophone
