Symphonieorchester Des Bayerischen Rundfunks- Symphony No. 3 Eroica - Shchedrin: Symphony (CD)
The Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks has already performed Beethoven symphony cycles on several occasions. Mariss Jansons has now extended the cycle concept in two respects: with works specially commissioned from contemporary composers, who have contributed their own musical reflections on Beethoven symphonies, and by presenting these outstanding concert events on the record market as a series of live recordings. Following the excellent response from critics and audiences for the award-winning Complete Edition (BR-KLASSIK, 900119), BR-KLASSIK now presents the symphonies on individual CDs. The first of these is the Symphony No 3 in E Flat, op 55, in a live recording made in 2012 in Munich's Herkulessaal, accompanied by a work of the Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin (born 1932). For his symphonic fragment "Beethoven's Heiligenstadt Testament," Schedrin has selected the devastating document - written around the same time as the Eroica - in which the composer described the progressive deafness that almost drove him to suicide.
Tracklist:
- Symphony No. 3 In E-Flat Major, Op. 55 "Eroica": III. Scherzo: Allegro Vivace
- Symphony No. 3 In E-Flat Major, Op. 55 "Eroica": II. Marcia Funebre: Adagio Assai
- Symphony No. 3 In E-Flat Major, Op. 55 "Eroica": III. Scherzo: Allegro Vivace
- Symphony No. 3 In E-Flat Major, Op. 55 "Eroica": IV. Finale: Allegro Molto
- Beethovens Heiligenstadter Testament
