Mahler: Sinfonie No. 2 (Auferstehungssinfonie)

These jewels from the large catalog of the record label Eterna, recorded in the Christ Church in Berlin-Schöneweide, were specially remastered from the original tapes. The special anniversary of the time-honored orchestra is celebrated in a festive manner across the borders of Berlin and Germany. attention is drawn to this edition.

The Staatskapelle Berlin can now look back on a history of 450 years, with all sorts of upheavals and reorientations. The Kurbrandenburgische Hofkapelle, first mentioned in 1570, forms the origin of the ensemble that became the Royal Prussian Court Orchestra in the 18th century and the Staatskapelle Berlin after the November Revolution in 1918. It had long since developed into a large, powerful opera and symphony orchestra, with important artists at the top. This and the next season, throughout 2020, we will celebrate this extraordinary anniversary
