The box also provides magnificent interpretations of masterpieces, ranging from the First Viennese School and Austro-German Late Romanticism to the music of the 20th century – all of it at the very highest artistic level and in outstanding SACD quality. (Most of the recordings have been published before on CD, but not all of them on SACD.)

The SACD box set is rounded off by a SACD new released recording of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Seventh “Leningrad” Symphony. Numerous renowned vocal soloists as well as the outstanding Bavarian Radio Chorus all perform under Jansons’ direction together with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.
The box is a must for anyone who wants to gain an impression of the work of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks under the direction of its chief conductor Mariss Jansons – and for anyone who wants to gain an overview of the long-standing cooperation between this world-class conductor and the ensembles of the Bayerischer Rundfunk.
