Lahav Shani and the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra bring a superb recording of Bruckner’s 5th Symphony.

Shani as a conductor has been devoted to Bruckner’s music as he stated in an interview with Gramophone; “His music has a sense not only of looking back and encompassing the history of music, but also very much looking forward and seeing the future…There is no sentimentality in this music. It has passion, but this is not the main quality. One can talk about Bruckner’s relationship with religion, with God, and with spirituality – and perhaps this has the most influence on the atmosphere of the music – but there are also beautiful melodic lines and a sense of cantabile and continuation.”

After a wonderfully recieved recording of Bruckner’s 7th Symphony in 2023, Shani the Dutch orchestra have returned with their recording of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 5, offering listeners a further opportunity to savour “the superb Bruckner ensemble Shani has fashioned”, and the rich, “Rembrandt-like” sound palette it brings to the works of the Austrian composer.
