Description:

The five titles released in 2013 are included in this set! The set includes Bruckner's sublime and exuberant Bruckner, Schumann's profound, magnificent, and imposing Schumann, and Beethoven's dignified and dynamic Beethoven. The second movement is also very moving. The second movement is also very moving, but the power of the two end movements is extraordinary. The timpani's bold and lively sound is also unforgettable. : The incandescent Berlioz is a treat to listen to, but the majestic manner in which Schumann No. 4 is presented is something that could only have been done by Wand and the NHK Symphony Orchestra at that time. The deep sound of the opening movement draws you in at once, and the passion from the third movement is so great that the brass is spectacular, making this a tremendously great performance. A masterful performance well worth a listen. ＜DISC3: The high dignity of the "Rural" is so impressive that you will be moved to tears, but even when the mood of the piece gets very lively, the movement of the inner voices is easily understood and beautifully performed. The second movement's high-class scale is unparalleled, and the explosive sound of the final movement is a masterpiece.: The horns at the beginning are beautiful, and the more the music progresses, the higher the voltage rises until the music ends in a sublime, high-voltage, and sublime grand finale. The second movement is truly "the sadness of an autumn day" and can be said to be one of the most passionate Bruckner performances by Wandt. The recording is of excellent quality and easy to listen to. ＜DISC5: The Brahms begins at a slightly faster tempo, as in the first NDR studio recording, with a wonderful sense of exuberance, as if the fiery N Symphony Orchestra of the time were on fire, and Vant's precise expression is also superb. The final movement, the coda, is also a masterful performance that is rarely seen in live performances. Schubert's dignity is also superb. The sound quality is also satisfactory.
