"The Vienna Singverein comes into its own as the unquiet spirit of Brahms oppresses the wanderings of Part 2. And, powerfully directed by Martin Sieghart, they and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra give their all in the concluding Liederteil, surging with sentiment and a new, fierce strength." - BBC Music
Hans Pfitzner (1869-1949) was a German nationalist composer in the Late Romantic vein of Richard Strauss. The cantata Von deutscher Seele is one of his finest works. The Vienna Symphonic Orchestra is extremely active as a touring orchestra.
