Description:

Nelsons and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra present the third installment of their Tchaikovsky series, a performance of overflowing song and a performance of unparalleled intensity. Fourth Symphony and "Francesca da Rimini" Andris Nelsons has been in the spotlight since his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic in the fall of 2010 and his return to the Berlin Philharmonic in September 2011, and he is also known for his spectacular successes in opera at the Met and Royal Covent Garden. He is also known for his spectacular successes in opera at the MET and the Royal Covent Garden, among others. His latest album with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra features Nelsons' specialty, Tchaikovsky. Both Symphony No. 4 and Fantasy "Francesca da Rimini" are recorded live from a subscription performance at Birmingham's Symphony Hall in June 2011.Nelsons passionately asserts that "all of Tchaikovsky's music is made up of the emotional moments of life," and he was true to his words when he conducted the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in the Fifth Symphony (ORFEO780091) and "Pathetique" (ORFEO832101), where he was very passionate and impressive in the heart-breakingly large scale music-making. The passionate and moving music of the Fifth Symphony (ORFEO780091) and "Pathétique" (ORFEO832101) also left a deep impression. In addition, the explosive release of energy in the finale of the main work, the Fourth Symphony, is a surprise. Moreover, the recording is excellent, and the ensemble of each instrument can be heard in exquisite detail. The recording also shows the excellent relationship with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, now in its third year as chief conductor. The Fourth Symphony is applauded at the end of the concert. Andris Nelsons was born in Riga, Latvia in 1978.
