Markus Stenz & Vadym Kholodenko – Schumann and Bruckner 7

Description

Schumann’s only Piano Concerto, born from a single-movement Phantasie and later transformed into a “hybrid of symphony, concerto, and grand sonata,” comes alive in the hands of Van Cliburn Gold Medallist Vadym Kholodenko. Renowned Bruckner-exponent, Markus Stenz leads the Singapore Symphony Orchestra in the composer’s majestic Seventh Symphony, whose radiant opening theme was said to have been revealed to him by an angel in a dream. Let its glowing waves of sound and reverently lyrical sweep carry you into the heart of Bruckner’s most beloved masterworks, heard in all its transcendent grandeur.
