BRUCKNER SYMPHONY 5 RESIDENTIE ORCHESTRA / NEEME JÄRVI

Neeme Järvi is one of the key interpreters of Bruckner’s 5^th Symphony having performed it many Orchestras around the world. Here it is with his own Orchestra the Residentie Orchestra of the Hague, one of the finest orchestras in Europe and an appropriate figurehead for the Hague as a cosmopolitan city of justice, peace and culture. Chandos is pleased to welcome back the Orchestra to the label after a ten-year break. Bruckner’s Symphony 5 is widely considered to be the finest amongst his numbered symphonies and is certainly the most popular. This recording is released as a mid price SACD.

Symphony No. 5 is widely considered as the finest among the nine numbered symphonies of Anton Bruckner, and ranks among his most famous works.
In their first recording on Chandos for almost ten years, the Residentie Orchestra The Hague here performs the work under its chief conductor, Neeme Järvi, who has conducted the symphony with orchestras across the globe, and is recognised as one of the key interpreters of it.
The reputation of the Residentie Orchestra The Hague as one of the finest orchestras in Europe makes it an appropriate figurehead for The Hague as a cosmopolitan city of justice, peace and culture.
