Mariss Jansons: Edition on DVD

Mariss Jansons was one of the most important conductors of our time, celebrated worldwide and held in the highest regard - all the more so since his unexpected death on December 1, 2019. "Mariss Jansons - The Edition", comprising 70 recordings and a box set in representative LP format, documents the final phase of his life and career - his work as chief conductor of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks and the Bavarian Radio Chorus between 2003 and 2019. Predominantly live recordings from Munich, Tokyo, Vienna, New York, Waldsassen and the Vatican enable listeners to experience for themselves musical highlights that are as moving as they are exciting. The set contains a remarkably diverse repertoire, ranging from symphonic music and great choral works to opera, and from the First Viennese School to 20th century classical music. "Mariss Jansons - The Edition" contains works by a broad range of composers - including complete cycles of the symphonies of Beethoven, Brahms and Mahler respectively. It is supplemented by fascinating rehearsal recordings that bear witness to Jansons' trusting artistic collaboration with the musicians in his orchestra, together with a large-format, approximately 72-page-long booklet containing background information, essays, an interview and a detailed track listing.
