Sir John Eliot Gardiner releases his new album, on which he presents live recordings of all four Brahms Symphonies taken from a cycle of critically acclaimed concerts from Amsterdam with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra starting in 2021.
Explaining his decision to re-record the cycle following a version on period instruments almost two decades ago, Gardiner notes: “I sensed a need and a personal challenge to build on that seminal earlier experience and to extend its findings and interpretations to/in working with a modern instrument orchestra – especially such a distinguished, flexible and immensely accomplished one as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra – in search of a fresh synthesis of styles and approaches.”
