Description:

It is there, calmly, simply there. This is the Iserstedt way. The latest remastering in 2018 brings back the Tarra masterpieces, with a new sound quality. The sound quality has been renewed, and this is a rare masterpiece. The Giant" was built up slowly and carefully with a hard-edged German style sound construction. The performance concentrated on making the score sound as it was played, and the ensemble's leisurely steps and high precision are appealing. The tempo of the second movement, for example, is quite slow, which is surprising, but the tension is high and the sound is taut, with great concentration. The third movement is also beautiful with a purely musical approach that is far from an outpouring of emotion. The finale is a well-proportioned performance without any breakdown, creating a big climax, and when it is over, the music appears like a huge mountain range that cannot be moved.Iserstedt was the first principal conductor of the North German Radio Symphony Orchestra, a position he held for 26 years from 1945. At the time of the orchestra's founding, he personally traveled to prisoner of war camps in the immediate aftermath of World War II to gather musicians. The relationship between the two orchestras is inseparable, and their solid performances, backed by a passionate relationship of trust, are appealing. King International
