Classical Companion

Beethoven: Mass in C; Leonore No 3
BR Klassik 900170
Bavarian RSO and Choir with fine soloists. 'Jansons is aware of the emotions running through the work but is perhaps more attuned to its lyricism than its drama', said one review.

Brahms: The Symphonies
BR Klassik 900140 (three CDs)
Kubelík did the first Bavarian RSO cycle in 1983; Jansons' (2004-12) is available in different couplings, Nos 2 and 3 on SACD.

Dvorak: Cello Concerto
Erato 7352972 (budget CD)
Truls Mørk with the Oslo PO – 'for sheer poetry this is unbeatable' said BBC Music.

Haydn: Symphony No 88
BR Klassik 900175 (ten discs)
With the Harmoniemesse this is in the SACD set Mariss Jansons: The SACD Recordings but can be extracted as a CD quality download.

Schubert: Symphony No 9
BR Klassik 900169
A 2018 recording of the 'Great C Major', with all repeats observed – quite forcefully driven, I thought, praised elsewhere as having 'overwhelming force and grandeur'.

VPO New Year Day Concert, 2019
Sony 88875174772 (two discs) also DVD/Blu-ray
The most recent of his three Vienna concerts (2006, 2012, 2016) all currently on CDs/DVDs.
