Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Andris Nelsons

Wagner: Tristan und Isolde. Prelude To Act I & Mild und leise wie er lächelt "Isoldes Liebestod"
Bruckner: Symphony No. 1 in C minor
Bruckner: Symphony No. 5 in B flat major

Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig continue their award-winning Bruckner cycle. This time the Symphonies are coupled with the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. There’s a consistently superb playing from all sections of the orchestra, but it’s the transparency of the strings that gives the textures such buoyancy; nothing is too emphatic or insistent.” - The Guardian
