Definitive performances of 5 of the great masterpieces of the orchestral repertoire, combined with unmissable documentary introductions. Legendary pianist Martha Argerich brings her unique intensity to Schumann’s lyrical Piano Concerto, while violinist Gil Shaham dazzles in Brahms, and the greatest German orchestras from the Berliner Philharmoniker to the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig are heard under such illustrious names as Claudio Abbado and Riccardo Chailly. Perfect for DVD is Strauss's gargantuan Alpine Symphony, which needs to be seen as much as heard, and adding depth to the experience are the authoritative and insightful films that explore the background to each work.
