Simone Young Conductor

Young, Simone

Powerful Brahms from Hamburg!” – This is what Gramophone Magazine said in March 2011 about the recording of the First Symphony with the Hamburg Philharmonic under the baton of Simone Young on SACD.

Now, maestro Young presents the Second Symphony in proven audiophile sound in a meeting between the traditional and the modern. The work was recorded live in the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg in October 2010.

Performance **** Recording ****
"...The acoustic of the orchestra’s ornate Laeszhalle home sounds warm and spacious, enhancing the orchestra’s radiant woodwind, glowing brass and vibrant strings. The audience is unobtrusive. Almost from the Second Symphony’s amply swaying, golden-toned opening bars, it is clear that this is going to be a full-blooded traditionalist reading, unalloyed by ’period performance’ scruples..."

Bayan Northcott - BBC Music magazine - November 2012

"...a fine release."

Peter Quantrill - Gramophone magazine - September 2012

"...On the evidence so far... Young’s should be a Brahms cycle well worth acquiring." (review refers to album OC0675 & OC676)
