Markus Stenz: Gurzenich-Orchester Koln - Schoenberg: Gurre-Lieder

The Gurzenich-Orchester of Cologne has a pedigree second to none�counting Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss among those who have entrusted it with premieres of their works�and when you hear this new recording the reasons for this are clear. Devastating brass combines with mellifluous winds and strings in a performance of Schoenberg�s late Romantic masterpiece.Markus Stenz conducts a fine line-up of soloists and marshalls the massed choirs in this most epic of works.
