It is one of the most grand in scale, most powerful in sound, and most breathtaking symphonies one can experience in a concert hall: the “Resurrection Symphony”—a work of overwhelming power that pulls out all the stops, both in terms of expression and the use of musical material.

Soprano and alto solos, a large choir, organ, harps, an extensive percussion section, and—in the distance—a second orchestral group featuring horns, trumpets, timpani, and percussion—this calls for a conductor who builds the sound like an architect. The Swiss conductor Philippe Jordan is the top choice here. He has a keen sense of structure and balance, but also knows when to let go at just the right moment—the early symphonic works of a composer who opened up new horizons in this genre that no one before him had dared to imagine.

Featuring: Chen Reiss (soprano), Michaela Schuster (mezzo-soprano), MDR Radio Choir, Philippe Jordan (conductor)
