Two Historic Orchestral Suites Released on SACD!
This new recording presents orchestral suites based on two of the most significant operas in history. Der Rosenkavalier found its place in the concert hall from the beginning, first with two waltz sequences and later with
the famous 1944 suite. But Elektra remained purely on the opera stage until now.
Conductor Manfred Honeck has made his own symphonic adaptation, in collaboration with the Czech composer Tomás Ille. We proudly present these Strauss suites, new and old, in definitive interpretations from Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, in superb audiophile sound.
With a legacy of more than 120 years, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is known for its artistic excellence, a rich history of the worldÂ’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens.
"Good barely covers it. All eight of the releases that the Pittsburgh forces have brought out on Reference Recordings, with the aid of microphone whizzes from Soundmirror, come with the highest of recommendations.Â… Four have received nominations for the Grammy for best orchestral performance. One, of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 and Barber's Adagio for Strings, won in 2018. Â…" - David Allen, The New York Times
