New CD release
Schubert, Webern, Mahler with Kent Nagano
The new CD by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra with Kent Nagano was released in June 2024. The recordings, which were made in 2021 in the Laeiszhalle and the Elbphilharmonie, are available from FARAO classics. "The Schubert-Mahler-Webern triad contains an important piece of music history that we can perceive here, as if under a magnifying glass, in the way the works are interwoven," says Kent Nagano, explaining the idea. "It is part of the history of Romanticism in its late phase, how it shimmers in new colours at the tipping point to modernism."
