Traditionally most members of the Concertgebouw Orchestra love to engage in chamber music and the woodwinds section of the orchestra is no exception. In the past woodwind ensembles like the Concertgebouw Sextet (1909-1937) and the Danzi Quintet (1958-1978) have even been very successful outside of the Netherlands. This SACD pays homage to this tradition.

This 2004 recording, featuring a live performance of Dvořák's beloved New World symphony, celebrated both the inauguration of Mariss Jansons as chief conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the debut of the orchestra’s new independent label RCO Live.

The Wagner year 2013 brought something special to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's concert schedule. The orchestra pulled out all the stops with a full performance of a Wagner's opera Der Fliegende Holländer in concert version. Making multiple appearance at Bayreuth, Andris Nelsons has certainly earned his spurs as a Wagner specialist.

With the exceptional performance of Bruckner's Fifth symphony, Nicolaus Harnoncourt bid farewell to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra after a collaboration spanning thirty-eight years and 276 concerts.

RCO Live presents the brass section of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra conducted by Ivan Meylemans with repertoire specifically tailored to the brass group. Listen to lesser-known repertoire by well-known composers.
