Album information
German Classical Selections offers some of the greatest music by German composers. From the seminal masterworks of Bach and Handel to the grand Romanticism of Beethoven, Weber, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms and Wagner, and stretching into the twentieth century with Strauss and Hindemith, this compilation offers a kaleidoscope of German music. Red threads are the Lutheran chorale which formed the foundation of so many German works, as well as the remarkable fascination for nature, and the forest particularly. The compilation features a host of outstanding artists and ensembles, from Alisa Weilerstein, Julia Fischer, Arabella Steinbacher, Francesco Piemontesi and Denis Kozhukhin to the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Czech Philharmonic, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, led by conductors such as Herbert Blomstedt, Marek Janowski, Lawrence Foster and Andrew Manze.
