Description:

[Exciting and fresh! Adam Fischer's complete Brahms symphonies] Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms. Adam Fischer, Principal Conductor of the Danish Chamber Orchestra (DCO) since 1998, has conducted the complete symphonies of Mozart (DACAPO) from 2006-13, the complete symphonies of Beethoven (DACAPO) from 2016-19, the complete symphonies of Brahms (DACAPO) from 2016-19, and the complete symphonies of Brahms (DACAPO) from 2017-18. Adam Fischer recorded the complete Mozart symphonies ( DACAPO) from 2006-13 and the complete Beethoven symphonies ( NAXOS) from 2016-19 to critical and audience acclaim. The Beethoven symphonies in particular were praised in many European countries, and the ICMA (International Classical Music Award) rated them the best of all the CDs that came out during the Beethoven years. The complete Brahms symphonies, recorded in preparation for Fischer's 25th anniversary as DCO principal conductor in 2023, are also a remarkable work that will challenge him even more than before. Fischer and the DCO's approach is based on the so-called HIP style, with a highly transparent sound with a low vibrato and fast tempi with strong accents, but with bold phrasing that seems to reflect Fischer's passionate personality as well as his many years of research, and freshness that comes from his skillful handling of the balance between wind and strings. The fresh sound is heard everywhere, born from the bold phrasing that seems to reflect Fischer's passionate nature in addition to his years of research, and the skillful manipulation of the balance between wind and strings.The double-wing arrangement of the violins and their clear bowing technique make the frequent passing of phrases between the first and second violins in the fourth movement of No. 1, for example, very stimulating. The more experienced listeners of Brahms's symphonies will be surprised by this thrilling performance. In the First Symphony, the tempo is fast from beginning to end, but the orchestra keeps the tempo brisk throughout the piece by adding some tame moments at key points. The calm second movement and the climax of the last movement are the highlights of the performance. In the second movement, the high tone of the brass contrasting with the lustrous sound of the strings is impressive. Fischer's interpretation of the last movement, which begins with extremely weak notes and ends with a sudden explosion of sound, is also very pleasing. The third movement is especially impressive in its treatment of the dunamik and tempo. The orchestra's skill in responding to the orchestra's meticulous conducting that makes one want to double-check the score is fully appreciated. Fischer's period interpretation shines through in No. 4, where the character of each movement is well delineated and the music is breathtakingly spun. Naxos Japan
