Description:

All first recordings! Previously unreleased broadcast recordings by Arnoncourt and the Concertgebouw Orchestra! Conductor Nikolaus Arnoncourt, who announced his retirement from performing in December 2015 and died the following March 5, 2016 at the age of 86, has maintained a close relationship with the Concertgebouw Orchestra since his legendary debut performance of J.S. Bach's John Passion, which he conducted on March 21, 1975. Since 2000 he has held the post of Honorary Guest Conductor, and until his last concert with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam on October 25 and 27, 2013, Bruckner's Fifth Symphony (RCO14106,RCO14103), he has given a total of 276 concerts with the Concertgebouw Orchestra. The box set includes the first concert with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1981 and the last concert with the orchestra in 1981, "Bruckner's Fifth Symphony" (RCO 14106, RCO 14103). The box set contains 15 CDs of previously unreleased broadcast recordings from 1981 to 2012. Today, the ancient instrumentation and period technique are widely known, largely due to the work of Arnoncourt, a pioneer in the field of ancient music. Not only did he bring to orchestras valuable knowledge of how to perform Baroque and Classical music on modern instruments, but his musical philosophy was equally persuasive in Romantic music and has been handed down to the present day.The contents of this concert will provide a look back at the performance history of Arnoncourt and the Concertgebouw Orchestra, along with many of Arnoncourt's masterpieces.
