About

Günter Wand was one of the world’s most famous conductors. This gigantic 33-CD boxset features Wand’s stunning recordings with renowned orchestras such as the Berliner Philharmoniker, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and NDR-Sinfonieorchester.

Günter Wand (7 January 1912 – 14 February 2002) was one of the most important conductors of the 20th century. Together with the Cologne RSO (WDR Sinfonieorchester) and then with the NDR-Sinfonieorchester, whose principal conductor he was from 1982-1991, he produced outstanding recordings that retain their references status to this day. His Bruckner cycle with the Cologne orchestra in particular made Günter Wand’s work internationally known.

Wand was a keen advocate of absolute fidelity to the original and was famous for his authentic interpretations, for the unrelenting precision of his rehearsal work and the high standards he set for recordings that were released on disc.

This edition contains magnificent recordings personally authorized by Wand himself, such as Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner and Schubert symphonies.

This CD edition Günter Wand: Live Recordings gives a comprehensive insight into the life and work of this great conductor.
