The fruits of a long-term collaboration: "Kapellmeister" literally means "master of the chapel choir". The term designates the leader of an ensemble of musicians and today represents the bond, spanning many years, between an orchestra and conductor. It stands for implicit trust between musicians and compelling musical conviction. This expansive release features recordings by some of the finest German conductors, including Herbert Blomstedt, Herbert Kegel, Otmar Suitner, Kurt Sanderling, and Kurt Masur.
