NDR Radiophilharmonie - Epic Orchestra - New Sound of Classical (2020) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

The most famous works of the greatest living composers for the first time in their entire acoustic wealth and as an epic journey of sound with orchestra and outstanding soloists "Epic Orchestra - New Sound of Classical" is an epic sound journey with orchestra. The NDR Radiophilharmonie has combined some of the most famous works of the greatest living composers in a coherent sound journey. In an extremely elaborate production with outstanding soloists, choir and every conceivable extension of the orchestra, the masterpieces of these composers appear for the first time in their entire acoustic wealth. With over 90 microphones, "Epic Orchestra" explores the possibilities of acoustic orchestral sound - without any midi or synthesizer support whatsoever - and creates a kaleidoscope of sounds, from intimate chamber ensembles, as in "Mishima - Closing", to the gigantic orchestral structure with several organ and piano voices in "Interstellar".
