Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pairing two of the composer's most complex and brilliant late symphonies, this recording is anchored by crisp, highly articulate orchestral playing. The conductor brilliantly exposes the monumental, fugal counterpoint of the 'Jupiter' finale without sacrificing the elegant, transparent textures of the high Classical style.
