The present CD is the recorded document of a special performance.When Simone Young lay down her baton on 15 June 2015 after the performance of Franz Schmidt’s The Book with Seven Seals, it was the 45th programme in the 90th Philharmonic concert that she had conducted within the ten years of her term as Hamburg Artistic Director (August 2005 to July 2015). Thus the Hamburg State Philharmonic Orchestra did not require much persuading to issue this rarely performed work as a CD on the OehmsClassics label.
“there's little doubt of [the] musical mastery which combines the harmonic sophistication of the Austro-German late-Romantic style with many passages of contrapuntal virtuosity that allude to Bach's Passions…Young marshals the huge forces at her disposal with impressive authority and commitment, and the Hamburg Philharmonic responds with some distinguished playing, especially from the wind and brass” BBC Music Magazine
