Herbert Blomstedt has made more than 130 recordings with the Sachsische Staatskapelle Dresden, most of them made during his time as principal conductor between 1975 and 1985.
Thanks to the fruitful cooperation between Denon and MDG, selected gems from this inexhaustible treasure chestare now available again.< p>
After the brilliant opening with Bruckner's Symphonies 4 and 7, now follows the legendary interpretation of Mozart's last four symphonies from 1981 and 1982.
Blomstedt knows how to make perfect use of the qualities of what is probably the world's most tradition-steeped orchestra with its sound of old gold (Karajan).
The magical sound of the strings fills the famous acoustic of Lukaskirche without any effort.
Herbert Blomstedt is now 94 years old. He is still indemand on the world's most important podiums. His Mozart interpretations are already a historical document and yet timelessly valid. The Denon sound engineers were already among the best in the world at the time these recordings were made, also benefits these recordings in immaculate audiophile quality.
