Concerto Budapest - Symphony No. 8 in C major - Music & Performance - SACD

A romantic horn melody from the distance is taken up by the woodwinds, continued by the cellos and violas, takes hold of the entire orchestra and leads into an exuberant, lively Allegro. Seemingly so simple everything and yet highly complex. And also the interpretation seems effortless despite all finesses, hair-raising technical difficulties, despite all discussions about styles of interpretation. - Who cares? Without resistance we surrender to this flow of melodies, harmonies, coldness gives way to warmth, and willingly forget for an hour all struggle and cramp around us.
