Mozart: Don Giovanni Overture / Mahler: Symphony No.4

Kurt Sanderling has recently been featured on BBC Legends with his recording of Mahler Symphony No.9 (BBCL42322) which received excellent reviews. The follow-up is Mahler Symphony No.4, which unlike Mahler Symphony No.9, has never been recorded by Sanderling either in the studio or in a broadcast recording. This is a new addition to his discography. Soprano Felicity Lott is one of the most celebrated and loved singers today and this has been recognized on the packaging by making a double bill of both artists. Superb stereo sound from the BBC Studios in Manchester. Kurt Sanderling, who still lives in Berlin in his 90's, represents one of the great conductors of the past - he was joint conductor of the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra during Evegeny Mravinsky's sensational years and has since enjoyed a cult status in London, Salzburg, New York etc. Gramophone Magazine January 2009 “…many will welcome the opportunity to time travel, not least for a treasurable contribution from the young Felicity Lott. Sanderling offers no interpretative novelties. His music-making incarnates a dedication and sincerity we are in danger of losing.”
