New on Naxos September 2023

The September NEW ON NAXOS presents the Hong Kong Philharmonic and conductor Jaap van Zweden’s new recording of Dmitry Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony – one of the most performed symphonic works of the 20th century – together with the jaunty, neo-Classical Symphony No. 9. This follows their recordings of the Tenth Symphonies of Mahler and Shostakovich, for which the HK Phil was praised for their ‘perfectly moulded strings’, and ‘superb’ sound and balance (BBC Music Magazine).

Other highlights include a rare audiovisual release of Der Schatzgräber (‘The Treasure Hunter’) by Franz Schreker staged by award-winning director Christof Loy for Deustche Oper Berlin; pianist Fazıl Say and violinist Friedemann Eichhorn’s latest collaboration, performing mid-19th century Romantic German repertoire; the world premiere recording of Antonio Sacchini’s oratorio L’abbandono delle ricchezze di S. Filippo Neri presented by Franz Hauk and the Concerto de Bassus; the latest instalment in author and musicologist Davinia Caddy’s Great Composers in Words and Music series featuring the life and works of Modest Mussorgsky narrated by Nicholas Boulton; and more.
