Manfred Honeck & Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Strauss: Elektra & Der Rosenkavalier Hybrid Multi-Channel & Stereo SACD

Two Historic Orchestral Suites Released on SACD!
On this multi-channel hybrid SACD, Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra present suites from two well-known operas by Richard Strauss. While the Rosenkavalier Suite was at home in concert halls from the beginning, the Elektra Suite first had to be adapted for the symphony orchestra. This was done in collaboration with the Czech composer Tomás Ille.
The present title, like all releases of the "Pittsburgh Live!" series, recorded and mastered by the Soundmirror team, which has received more than 80 Grammy Awards and nominations for its outstanding classical recordings.
This new recording presents orchestral suites based on two of the most significant operas in history. Der Rosenkavalier found its place in the concert hall from the beginning, first with two waltz sequences and later with
the famous 1944 suite. But Elektra remained purely on the opera stage until now.
Conductor Manfred Honeck has made his own symphonic adaptation, in collaboration with the Czech composer Tomás Ille. We proudly present these Strauss suites, new and old, in definitive interpretations from Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, in superb audiophile sound.
With a legacy of more than 120 years, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is known for its artistic excellence, a rich history of the world’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens.
"Good barely covers it. All eight of the releases that the Pittsburgh forces have brought out on Reference Recordings, with the aid of microphone whizzes from Soundmirror, come with the highest of recommendations."Four have received nominations for the Grammy for best orchestral performance. One, of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 and Barber's Adagio for Strings, won in 2018." - David Allen, The New York Times
