Composer/Series: Kurt Sanderling conducts Rachmaninov Symphonie No. 3
Description
The legendary conductor Kurt Sanderling was always a great admirer of Rachmaninov’s music. There is just one other, old recording of Sanderling conducting Rachmaninov’s Third Symphony. This is, therefore, another notable release in the SWR historic series. The performances on this disc are from his Stuttgart concerts, beginning with Mussorgsky’s prelude to his unfinished opera Khovanshchina, the work he began after completing Boris Godunov. Sanderling did not use the version originally published by Rimsky-Korsakov, but Shostakovich’s orchestral version (from 1959), which is based on Mussorgsky’s original piano score and is still used today. The other highlight of that evening was Sergey Rachmaninov’s Third Symphony. This was his last symphony and his penultimate orchestral work, a 45-minute piece in three movements, composed in 1935/36 (rev. 1938). Rachmaninov’s monumental Symphonies Nos. 2 and 3 always remained close to Sanderling’s heart. Violinist Efim Belsky of the Leningrad Philharmonic once said: In my opinion, his interpretation of Rachmaninov’s Symphony No. 3 was his most brilliant achievement in the field of Russian music." This release is a unique collection of Fritz Wunderlich’s recordings from 1954 – 1957 of Early Music predating J. S. Bach, and is a new instalment from SWR’s comprehensive series of Fritz Wunderlich’s recordings. The album has been digitally remastered from the original SWR tapes."
