Bruckner: Symphony No.4

[Machine Translation] Since assuming the position of Chief Conductor in 2015, Max Pommer has brought even more depth and breadth to the sound and performance of the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. His performances of Schumann and Mendelssohn at his inaugural concert and his live CD Mendelssohn "Hymn" were highly praised and enthusiastically received by many newspapers and magazines, including the Asahi Shimbun for your Collection recommendation, Record Art Special Mention, and the Nikkei Shimbun's Disc Review recommendation. The second CD is Bruckner's "Romantic", which was performed at the December subscription concert in the same year. With the mysteriousness of Bruckner's performance, the tempo setting very faithfully derived from the written score, and expression that is not influenced by convention, Pommer and the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra invite the listener into the world of Romantische, as the composer must have intended.

2015年の首席指揮者就任以来、札響の清新な音色へさらなる厚みと演奏の幅をもたらすマックス・ポンマー。就任公演でのシューマン、メンデルスゾーンの演奏、そしてライヴCDメンデルスゾーン「讃歌」は、朝日新聞 for your Collection 推薦盤、レコード芸術 特選盤、日経新聞「ディスクレビュー」推薦盤他 多数紙誌で絶賛され、熱烈な支持をもって迎えられた。CD第2弾は、同年12月定期でのブルックナー「ロマンティック」。ブルックナー演奏の神秘性を纏いながら、記された楽譜から極めて忠実に導かれたテンポ設定、慣習に流されない表現で、ポンマー/札響は、作曲家が意図したであろうRomantischeの世界へ聴く者を誘う。
