The eminent German conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch is credited for having created NHKSO's characteristic "sound rooted in the German tradition" during his 40-year association. In his final November 2004 collaboration with the orchestra, he imparted a soft watercolor-like diffused edge to the sharp and clear modern tones giving the music even more depth. Pay particular attention to the maestro's left hand. The subtlety Sawallisch desires the orchestra to convey is expressed in these movements. In this final performance with the NHKSO, Sawallisch wanted to communicate so much and the orchestra responds magnificently. Sit back and enjoy the confident performance that comes only with total trust between conductor and orchestra.
