RCO LIVE -- Anthology of the RCO 2000-2010 and Mahler cycle on DVD and Blu-ray

The Anthology of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra series, the first two volumes issued by Q-Disc and the rest by RCO Live, has reached the last volume, i.e. Volume 7 for 2000-2010, to be in line with the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the RCO in 2013. Many interesting Bruckner symphony concerts are included in this series so far as listed below:

No. 2    Haitink, 9/7/1959 (Vol. 2)
No. 3    Kubelik, 28/1/1959 (Vol. 2)
             Sanderling, 8/11/1996 (Vol. 6)
No. 4    Klemperer, 4/12/1947 (Vol. 1)
No. 6    Jochum, 2/11/1980 (Vol. 5)
No. 9    Giulini, 22/1/1978 (Vol. 4)

In Volume 7, the only Bruckner is Zubin Mehta's No. 8 in 2005.


Another major release for Mahlerites is the RCO Mahler cycle on DVD and Blu-ray. All are full HD live recordings with 5.0 surround sound from the 2009-2011 Mahler celebrations from Concertgebouw.




Very nice package.

    1. I don't have all the track details at this moment. I only have information on some "highlights": Ades Asyla by Daniel Harding, Beethoven 9th by Jansons (2006), Mahler Das Lied von der Erde by Fabio Luisi (2011), Shostakovich 13th by Kurt Masur (2006), Richard Strauss Sinfonia domestica by Lorin Maazel (2000) and Stravinsky Oedipus Rex by Chailly (2001).
