About

The Bamberger Symphoniker’s collaboration with Tudor has evolved in cycles. It began with Joachim Raff’s oeuvre, a pioneering step into overlooked repertoire. Then stepped up to the Greats with Schubert’s symphonies: the first recording to follow the new Schubert edition was enthusiastically hailed as a refreshing new departure interpreted with historical awareness. Reaching for the stars under the aegis of Jonathan Nott, the scores of Gustav Mahler then entered the Bamberg Konzerthalle. That whole cycle has won countless prizes and awards, becoming a milestone of Mahler discography. The next step? Staying in Vienna with symphonies by Johannes Brahms while remaining true to Gustav Mahler’s Bohemian homeland with Antonín Dvořák. The Bamberger Symphoniker and Jakub Hrůša’s cycle of the four Brahms symphonies and Dvořák’s last four symphonies is the first recording to give an overview of their extraordinary universe and cast light on their musical affinity, in a vivid soundscape with a contemporary pulse.

Reviews

I can’t say there are notable interpretative revelations here, but the performances are hugely enjoyable for their lyrical warmth and attention to detail. Hrůša favours tempos that allow the music to breathe, and on first hearing it might seem that this comes at the expense of visceral excitement. But, in fact, I think it would be more accurate to say that his patience involves a desire to convey the music’s trajectory. ... Very warmly recommended.  Andrew Farach-Colton
