This fiery live performance of “The Great,” showcasing the true essence of the explosive conductor Abendroth, has been shockingly revived with completely renewed sound quality. Although recorded in monaural, the trombones sound crisp and powerful—a truly superb production. Let yourself be completely swept away by this incredibly powerful performance, driven by a heart-pounding sense of excitement. Just when you think the momentum has peaked, the tempo drops abruptly with the introduction of the secondary theme, only to build back up fiercely with a crescendo. While storing up formidable energy and gazing intently at the distant summit, the music surges and undulates with boundless vigor—this is the true essence of Abendroth’s style! The relentless succession of climaxes as the piece surges toward its tempestuous conclusion is simply staggering, making the length of the piece seem to vanish entirely. While charging forward with audacious boldness, the composer skillfully highlights the distinctive character of each section, resulting in a particularly profound beauty within the second movement. The endless frenzy of the finale offers a joy so extraordinary—unparalleled throughout history—that you gradually come to regret its end, even feeling a sense of transience. A superlative performance that makes us bow in awe before the great artistry of our very own Abendroth! The coupling is also a must-listen. The overture to *Iphigenia in Aulis*, conducted by him with the Berlin Philharmonic during the Furtwängler era, is an unforgettable, enchanting performance that begins with a spiritually charged, dimly lit string sound and expands on a massive scale. While the sound quality is typical of the era in which it was recorded, the sublime and rich timbre that flows endlessly comes across with great clarity. Furthermore, the overture to *Oberon*, with its bold development that truly showcases Abendroth’s brilliance, is an utterly exhilarating and heart-stirring performance.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Altus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595607105825,"sku":"4543638400553","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4543638400553.jpg?v=1790481896","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/de-de\/products\/4543638400553","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
