About
Andris Nelsons, Kristine Opolais, and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig form a Dvorák sound from the middle, singing the melodies that the composer concealed in all of the layers of his music with tender, warm, soft colors. Nelsons’ tempos remain calm and relaxed, allowing the omnipresent beauty of Dvorák’s music to unfold and flood the Gewandhaus. This is the first DVD and Blu-ray release of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under the baton of its new music director Andris Nelsons. Recorded at the Gewandhaus zu Leipzig, May 2017.

Awards and reviews
June 2018
The piece that fits well with the New World is the concert overture, Othello…Nelsons conveys the work’s turbulent passions, with marvellous control over dynamics and articulation…the sense of pace and the sheer beauty of orchestral detail commands attention throughout. This is an unashamedly Romantic reading with some of the best orchestral playing I have heard In the work, not least the cor anglais solo in the slow movement.
