Profil will release a box set of 8 CDs (PH 09068) featuring Günter Wand and Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. The contents are mouth-watering:

Coriolan and Egmont Overtures
Brahms
Sym. Nos. 1 and 4
Bruckner
Sym. Nos. 5 and 9

This is totally new to his discography. Really looking forward to it.
Günter Wand conducted his first concert with the then Berlin RSO on 3 April 1983 at the tender age of 71.
A tale of four cities for Wand: Cologne (Gürzenich-Orchester; Cologne RSO or WDR SO), Hamburg (NDR SO), Berlin (BPO; DSO) and Munich (MPO).
He had the best Indian Summer among all the great conductors.

good mews! hope the price could down to the level of NT.2500.
ReplyDeleteThis set is interesting because the concerts should be performed when Chailly was Principal Conductor of Berlin RSO at that time.
ReplyDeleteThis orchestra has its name changed for a few times: 1946 RIAS SO --> 1956 RSO Berlin --> 1993 DSO.
I have a special fondness for this orchestra because of Ferenc Fricsay, one of my favourite conductors.
Chailly has recorded Bruckner 0,1,3,7 with this orchestra, and the 7th is famous and memorable.
