SOMM Recordings is delighted to release Volume 4 in its “major commemorative series” (ConcertoNet.com) Bruckner from the Archives. Many of the expertly restored and remastered recordings, like this performance of the Fifth Symphony, are appearing for the first time in any form.
Conceived and designed by SOMM Executive Producer and acclaimed Audio Restoration Engineer Lani Spahr with support from the Bruckner Society of America, Bruckner from the Archives celebrates the 200th anniversary of the composer’s birth in 1824 with rare archival recordings of the 11 symphonies and selected other important works. These have been sourced by Lani Spahr from the more than 12,000 Bruckner performances in the Archive of John F. Berky, Executive Secretary of the Bruckner Society of America, who also acts as Consultant for this important series.
This fourth instalment offers the first ever release of a live radio broadcast of Bruckner’s Symphony No.5 by the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra under Christoph von Dohnányi (1963) and a debut CD release of the String Quintet and its alternate movement, the Intermezzo, by the Vienna Konzerthaus Quartet joined by violist Ferdinand Stangler (1956).
