Publicerad: 24 November 2010
"A really fresh and very fine new recording of Bruckner's second Symphony. It will be exciting to see how the "Opening Doors" series proceeds!"
Launching the release of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra's latest recording - Bruckner Symphony no. 2 - Austria's private radio station, Radio Stephansdom, has chosen the disc as CD of the Day with the comments "There are plenty of recordings of Anton Bruckner's symphonies and anyone producing a new CD today must be able to impress and offer something new. As does the Swedish Chamber Orchestra under its conductor Thomas Dausgaard ... Bruckner's 2nd Symphony does not lose its musical force as a result of the ensemble's smaller orchestration. On the contrary, it gains through the high transparency of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra; the recording has very clean intonation and is rhythmically exact ... Even with its audibly smaller sound there is an amazing dynamic range. The timbre and balance of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra is remarkable. Conclusion: A really fresh and very fine new recording of Bruckner's second Symphony. It will be exciting to see how the "Opening Doors" series proceeds!
Radio Stephansdom (Austria), 24 November, 2010
Coming from Austria - the very heart of "Bruckner territory"- the radio station's acknowledgement of Dausgaard and the ensemble's new recording is very welcome indeed!
