Bruckner, Anton - Symphony No. 5 - Young, Simone

Philharmoniker Hamburg / Simone Young

“[This performance] shares many of the qualities of earlier releases in the series, notably the committed playing of the Hamburg orchestra as well as Young's confident navigation of Bruckner's symphonic architecture. Tempi are well judged throughout, the Scherzo in particular enjoying an easy forward momentum without the stridency that affects some performances.”
(Gramophone)

It is a bold undertaking indeed nowadays to launch a Bruckner cycle in SACD quality. Dieter Oehms, together with Simone Young and the Hamburg Philharmonic, have succeeding it bringing it off! The climax of this extraordinarily fruitful and congenial collaboration is the Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major.
