Description:

Pervo Järvi and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra perform and record all 10 of Bruckner's symphonies, which he has positioned as his life's work and has carefully pursued over 11 years, from 2006-2017. Järvi lets the music breathe at a faster tempo and presents Bruckner's characteristic huge block structure with clarity, while elaborating on the details. The individuality of each work is vividly captured in this recording, with No. 0 and No. 8 released alone from the complete cycle released in 2021. The recordings are based on live recordings of several subscription concerts at the Frankfurt Alte Oper (opened in 1981, 2,500 seats), and have been edited with additional takes from the patch sessions. (Järvi himself was deeply involved in the editing process.) The 5.1 multi-sound reproduction gives the audience a sense of space and dimension. (C)RS
