Immerse yourself in the masterful interpretations of Rafael Kubelík with the album "Handel & Bruckner," released on January 1, 2016, under the Orfeo label. This captivating collection showcases the contrasting yet equally profound works of George Frideric Handel and Anton Bruckner, spanning the genres of classical, opera, and orchestral music.
The album opens with Handel's Concerto grosso in G Minor, Op. 6 No. 6, HWV 324, a baroque gem that unfolds in five distinct movements. Kubelík's delicate handling of the Largo affettuoso and the lively Allegro passages brings out the intricate beauty and rhythmic vitality of Handel's composition.
The second half of the album is dedicated to Bruckner's monumental Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, WAB 109, presented in its original 1894 version. Kubelík's commanding conducting guides the listener through the symphony's grand and introspective movements, from the solemn and mysterious opening to the spirited Scherzo and the deeply moving Adagio.
With a total runtime of 1 hour and 19 minutes, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience. Rafael Kubelík's renowned expertise and passion for these works shine through, making "Handel & Bruckner" a standout addition to any classical music enthusiast's collection.
