About

Phoenix Edition is delighted to present a true treasure from the archives of the German broadcasting corporation.

This 2-CD set contains recordings of music conducted by Gary Bertini when he was chief conductor of the Radio Symphony Orchestra Cologne of the West-German Radio Corporation Cologne (WDR). In the Mass in C Minor, the first soprano part is full of virtuoso technical difficulties – especially in the famous “Et incarnatus est” passage – and here legendary soprano Arleen Augér interprets it in an exemplary manner.

The bass voice in the Requiem is none other than young Thomas Quasthoff, whose voice already possessed the sonorous, unique timbre that so quickly secured him a place among the world’s best singers.
