Gewandhausorchester Leipzig - Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn & Bruch

Thanks to its longevity, its lasting excellence, and the aura it enjoys with the greatest musical figures, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig is one of the most revered musical institutions in Germany. Its recent history is inseparably linked to the figures of Václav Neumann and Kurt Masur who succeeded one another as music director from the 1960s to the 1990s. This collection gathers their best performances of German romanticism, the core repertoire of the orchestra. It features brilliant soloists such as Elisabeth Leonskaja, Maxim Vengerov, Cyprien Katsaris and Yehudi Menuhin.
