Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Daniel Barenboim: Bruckner: 10 Symphonies CD Box Set
Daniel Barenboim’s Bruckner odyssey, recorded with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 1973 to 1981, proved his credentials as a true Brucknerian, with readings “full of youthful impetus and gorgeously wrought sonorities … power, sensitivity, and sweep, felt from within” (Gramophone). The set also includes the Te Deum, with powerful soloists, the rarely-heard Helgoland for men’s chorus and orchestra, and Psalm 150 for soprano, chorus and orchestra. Featuring Yvonne Minton (mezzo-soprano), Jessye Norman (soprano), Samuel Ramey (bass-baritone), David Rendall (tenor), and Ruth Welting (soprano). Includes a 28 page booklet with liner notes by Christoph Schlüren (English, German, French) and sung texts and translations (English, French).
