About

Among the activities undertaken by the Vienna Singverein to commemorate its 150th anniversary during the 2008–9 season was a series of performances of Dvorįk’s Requiem with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra under the direction of Mariss Jansons. The concert recordings of the two performances given in Amsterdam in February 2009 have been integrated here to create a captivating presentation of this rarely recorded work.

On this double SACD release, Jansons, who has a special affinity with Dvorįk’s late works, has paired the Requiem with the Eighth Symphony, composed during the period directly preceding the Requiem.

Of particular note in Jansons’s interpretation of both works here is his attention to detail, a characteristic of his performances, but which in no way impedes the development of extended, overarching climaxes.

Recorded live at the Concertgebouw 5-6 Feb 2009 (Requiem) / 19, 20, 21, 23 & 25/12/2007 & 23/10/2008 (Symphony No.8).
