Disc 1 features Beethoven's \"Ninth\" performed by the Gewandhaus Orchestra conducted by Kurt Mazur on June 4, 1991 at the Prague Smetana Hall.\n\nKurt Masur (1927-2015) established his presence as one of East Germany's leading conductors. He began his career as an opera house conductor, and when he became music director of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra in 1970, he became known for his mastery with the orchestra. As a member of the East German Academy of Arts, Mazur held national authority and had more social influence than an artist. A symbol of this was his statement at the 1989 \"Monday Demonstration\" in Leipzig. While 70,000 civilians were held at gunpoint, he called for the avoidance of the use of force, a call that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall. After reunification, his presence did not diminish, and he continued his international career as Music Director of the New York Philharmonic from 1991 to 2002.\n\nMusically, he recorded the complete Beethoven symphonies twice with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. The first took place between 1972 and 1974, and the second between 1987 and 1992. The Ninth Symphony was recorded during the latter period, and the fact that it was performed at the Prague Spring Festival immediately after the German reunification has a strong historical significance in addition to its musical value.\n\nThus, Mazur's \"Ninth\" is not merely a record of a masterful performance, but is also historically valuable as a sound that symbolizes the milestone of the era of the unification of East and West Germany.\n\nDisc 2 features a performance with the Prague Symphony Orchestra conducted by French conductor Serge Bodo (1927-) and Hungarian-born world-famous conductor János Ferencik (1907-1984).\n\nBorn into a family of musicians, with his father, the oboist Etienne Bodo, and his uncle, Paul Torturier, the French conductor Serge Bodo directed the Orchestre de Paris and the Orchestre National de Lyon, and later served as principal conductor of the Prague Symphony Orchestra. Bizet's First Symphony was premiered in Basel, Switzerland in 1935 by the famous conductor Weingartner, and the Paris premiere took place the following year under the baton of Charles Munch. Bodo had a deep friendship with Münch during his time with the Paris Orchestra, so this performance of Bizet must have been brilliant and wonderful.\n\nThen Ferencik's \"Concerto for Orchestra,\" a masterpiece by Hungarian composer Bartók, was performed by the Japan Philharmonic. This work has been recorded with the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra and the Hungarian National Symphony Orchestra, and the unique rhythms and accents were interpreted as only a conductor from his home country can.\n\nRADIO SERVIS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radio Servis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52171572511009,"sku":"8590236128521","price":4190.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/8590236128521.jpg?v=1766641979","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/8590236128521","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
