Mariss Jansons: The Oslo Years
Mariss Jansons
December 1st 2020 marks a year since the death of Mariss Jansons, who in 2013 was described by the Washington Post as "the greatest living conductor".
Born in Latvia and trained in St Petersburg, Jansons came to be closely associated with such orchestras as the Royal Concertgebouw, St Petersburg Philharmonic, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks and Berliner Philharmoniker. It was, however, as Music Director of the Oslo Philharmonic that he first rose to global eminence.
Over his long tenure in Oslo - from 1979 to 2002 - the Norwegian orchestra cemented its international reputation. Praising its players for their "exceptionally strong work ethic and discipline ... without a trace of arrogance, superficiality or routine thought," Jansons valued the Oslo Philharmonic's "identity and unique sound".
This 21-CD set, comprising all the Warner Classics recordings that Jansons and the Oslo Philharmonic made together, reflects the conductor's special mastery of music of the later Romantic era and the 20th century. Released for the first time are 5 DVDs of concerts originally broadcast on Norwegian television and offering works by such composers as Sibelius, Mahler, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Strauss and Franck.
