The Symphony No. 9 in C major, D 944, known as the Great (first published by Breitkopf & H”artel in 1849 as “Symphonie / C Dur / f”ur grosses Orchester”, listed as Symphony No. 8 in the Neue Schubert-Ausgabe), is the final symphony completed by Franz Schubert. Originally called The Great C major to distinguish it from his Symphony No. 6, the Little C major, the subtitle is now usually taken as a reference to the symphony’s majesty. Unusually long for a symphony of its time, a typical performance of The Great lasts an hour when all repeats indicated in the score are taken. The symphony was not professionally performed until a decade after Schubert’s death.

To say that Christian Thielemann’s early March 2020 Gurre-Lieder at the Semperoper Dresden didn’t take place a moment too soon is something of an understatement, when under a fortnight later Europe’s international-level live music making scene had been reduced to solo recitals self-filmed on mobile phones and posted onto social media. Equally fortuitously, it was recorded live, meaning we can now all listen to this ambitious project with its international line-up that would, had 2020 turned out differently, have received a second airing the following month at the Salzburg Easter Festival.

Die Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden zählt zu den führenden und traditionsreichsten Orchestern der Welt.
Herausragende Kapellmeister und international geschätzte Instrumentalisten haben die einstige Hof- und heutige Sächsische Staatskapelle seit ihrer Gründung geprägt. Sie wurde am 22. September 1548 im Auftrag des Kurfürsten Moritz von Sachsen von Johann Walter gegründet und gilt als einziges noch existierendes Orchester, das über mehr als viereinhalb Jahrhunderte hinweg musiziert hat und zugleich – wie zeitgenössische Berichte belegen – stets zu den führenden Klangkörpern der verschiedenen Epochen gehörte. Gegenwärtig verfügt sie über 150 Planstellen. Die ständige Wirkungsstätte der Sächsischen Staatskapelle Dresden ist die Sächsische Staatsoper (Semperoper) in Dresden, in der sie pro Spielzeit etwa 250 Opern- und Ballett- sowie rund 50 sinfonische und kammermusikalischen Konzerte spielt. Ihre Adventskonzerte in der Dresdner Frauenkirche und Silvesterkonzerte in der Semperoper werden jährlich vom ZDF übertragen.
Seit 2008 ist die Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden das Patenorchester des Meetingpoint Music Messiaen in der deutsch-polnischen Doppelstadt Görlitz-Zgorzelec, seit 2010 Mitträger der mit ihr gemeinsam ins Leben gerufenen Schostakowitsch Tage Gohrisch (Sächsische Schweiz), die als einziges Festival weltweit alljährlich dem Schaffen des russischen Komponisten gewidmet sind, und seit 2013 ist die Staatskapelle das Orchester der Osterfestspiele Salzburg, deren Künstlerische Leitung in den Händen ihres Chefdirigenten Christian Thielemann liegt.
Konzerttourneen führen die Sächsische Staatskapelle alljährlich zu international renommierten Musikfestivals und in die wesentlichen Konzertsäle.
Ihre umfangreiche Diskografie reicht bis in das Jahr 1923 zurück. Heute werden zahlreiche Opern- und Konzertaufführungen der Sächsischen Staatskapelle live gesendet und für DVD aufgezeichnet. Als bislang einziges Orchester empfing die Sächsische Staatskapelle 2007 in Brüssel den Preis der Europäischen Kulturstiftung für die Bewahrung des musikalischen Weltkulturerbes.

Staatskapelle Dresden, Wolfgang Sawallisch – Schumann: The Four Symphonies, Ouverture, Scherzo & Finale (1973/2015)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 02:28:00 minutes | 2,93 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Warner Classics
Wolfgang Sawallisch and the Staatskapelle Dresden make fitting and eloquent interpreters of Schumann’s four symphonies, each a highly distinctive work. The city of Dresden was the composer’s home for six years, while Sawallisch was a keen advocate of his large-scale work. For all the energy and passion that Sawallisch communicates in these performances, he does not impose himself on the music; he is content to illuminate and reinforce Schumann’s inspired, if sometimes idiosyncratic arguments.
