the last is in some respects the most forward-look- ing of the four. Its instrumental coloring, as in the opening measures a piccolo, a contrabassoon, and three trombones make their first appearance in the Symphonie literature. After the recapitulation of the finale’s thematic material, the grandiose, ex- tended coda is announced by a motif in the bas- soons, heard immediately in the horns and passing through all the woodwinds in Jugato fash- ion. An almost relentless pedal point on the note of C brings the symphony to its triumphant con- clusion. -2000 Columbia Artists Management Ine. About the Orchestra Dresden Philharmonie The founding of the Dresden Philharmonie in 1870 coincided with the official opening of the city’s first civic concert hall, the Gewerbehaus- Saal. The orchestra’s roots date back almost 600 years to the first civic music ensemble, the Ratsmusik; which came into being outside the in- fluence of the court or nobility and flourished far into the 19th Century. Major composers of their time, such as Johannes Brahms, Peter Tchaikovsky, Antonin Dvorak, and Richard Strauss came to Dresden to conduct their own works. Starting in 1885 the “Gewebehausorch ester" regularly performed the “Philharmonie con- certs,” which in 1915 led to the name “Dresden Philharmonie Orchestra.” In 1909, it was one of the first German orchestras to tour in the U.S. To this day it successfully performs on the major music stages of Europe, North and South Amer ica, and Asia. The orchestra gained worldwide fame in the 1930s, with much credit going to the leadership of Paul van Kempen and Carl Schuricht. The per- formance of all Bruckner symphonies in the orig inal version created a particular reputation for the “Bruckner orchestra.” The great conductors of the time appeared in concert with Philharmonie, in- cluding Hermann Abendroth, Fritz Busch, Eugen Jochum, Joseph Keilberth, Erich Kleiber, Hans Knappertsbusch, Franz Konwitschny, and Arthur Nikisch. After 1945 the Principal Conductors were Heinz Bongartz, Kurt Masur, Marek Janowski, and Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, among others. These musical collaborations have been documented on numerous prominent recordings.
