You have to take the rough with the smooth - slips, imperfect ensemble, mis-intonations etc - but these are rare and the depth of insight in Bruggen’s leadership, the beauty of the orchestra (those springy, resiliently rhythmical strings...) and the spontaneity of their response, the sheer urgency and intensity of the live event; above all those special Bruggen-iste touches - come across very vividly.
Pick of the bunch - the Schubert Great C Major, well over an hour with the repeats, a performance of huge excitement and endless interpretive interest, the open earthy wind and brass textures a constant pleasure. Just as thrilling as the earlier release of the Brahms Violin Concerto with Zehetmair.
Schumann’s Manfred, Schumann 4 (1841 - often startlingly idiosyncratic, if a little less well played than the searching account of the overture here); and the Beethoven Concertos from Luzern 2001.... Hoogland is wonderfully eloquent and Bruggen the perfectly faithful accompanist. Both are very rewarding as one-off live events in fine, spacious and atmospheric sound - the latter is excellent throughout.
