SACD (Super Audio CD)
Die SACD verwendet eine höhere digitale Auflösung als die Audio-CD und bietet außerdem die Möglichkeit, Mehrkanalton (Raumklang) zu speichern. Um die Musik in High-End-Qualität genießen zu können, wird ein spezieller SACD-Player benötigt. Dank Hybrid-Funktion sind die meisten in unserem Shop mit "SACD" gekennzeichneten Produkte auch auf herkömmlichen CD-Playern abspielbar. Dann allerdings unterscheidet sich der Sound nicht von einer normalen CD. Bei Abweichungen weisen wir gesondert darauf hin (Non-Hybrid).

Für die letzte SACD in seinem Überblick über Beethovens Schaffen für Klavier und Orchester hat sich Brautigam den „krönenden Ruhm seines Konzertschaffens“ (Beethoven-Spezialist Barry Cooper) aufgehoben. Da fünfte Konzert, im englischsprachigen Raum auch unter dem Beinamen „Emperor“ bekannt, weil es mit der 3. Symphonie, der „Eroica“, die Tonart teilt, wird hier gekoppelt mit der Choralfantasie, einem eindringlichen Werk für Klavier, Orchester und Chor. Die ungewöhnliche Besetzung dieses Werkes rührt aus der Entstehungsgeschichte her; Beethoven brauchte einen beeindruckenden Abschluss für eines seiner Mammut-Konzerte in Wien. Am 22.12.1808 erklangen hintereinander die 5. und die 6. Sinfonie, das 4. Klavierkonzert, zwei Sätze aus der Messe C-Dur und für alle dann überhaupt noch aufnahmefähigen die Choralfantasie, die zum guten und verdienten Abschluss noch einmal alle Mitwirkenden aufs Podium brachte.
For the final instalment of his survey of Beethoven's works for piano and orchestra, Ronald Brautigam has saved 'the final crowning glory of his concerto output', as Beethoven specialist Barry Cooper describes the Fifth Piano Concerto in his liner notes. The work has become known as the Emperor Concerto, as it shares its key (E flat major) as well as a certain sense of power and grandeur with the Third Symphony, the 'Eroica'. It is coupled on this disc with the Choral Fantasia - an intriguing work scored for piano, orchestra and chorus with vocal soloists. The explanation for this unusual combination is that Beethoven wanted to provide a fitting finale for one of his mammoth concerts in Vienna. The concert, which took place on 22 December 1808, included performances of the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies as well as the Fourth Piano Concerto and two movements from the Mass in C major; the Choral Fantasia thus brought all of the evening's performers on stage once more before the end of the concert. The individual discs in Ronald Brautigam's series have received numerous distinctions, including a MIDEM Classical Award in 2010, and his performances have been weighed against classic recordings by legendary pianists. 'Brautigam's account [of Concerto No. 1] compares with Richter's for sparkle, with Pollini's for cleverness, and with Michelangeli's for liveliness... The performance of Beethoven's Third Concerto that follows is even better', wrote the reviewer on website All Music. com, while the one in Gramophone deemed that the recording of the Second Concerto was 'almost as good as Serkin's account with Ormandy, which is saying something!' In the review in International Record Review of the penultimate volume, finally, the series so far was summed up as follows: 'For my money, Brautigam and Parrott are setting a new bench-mark, and I eagerly await the final instalment.' It is of course a great pleasure to be able to announce the release of that longed-for disc, with Ronald Brautigam, the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra and Andrew Parrott in their usual top form, and with the brief but crucial appearance of the eminent Eric Ericson Chamber Choir in the Choral Fantasia.

Rezensionen
FonoForum 11/10: "Tatsächlich wird, wer den vertrauten machtvollen Ton und die große Virtuosenattitüde erwartet, auch diesmal einige Zeit brauchen, um sich auf die flüssige, eloquente, sozusagen auf alle Ausrufungszeichen verzichtende und stattdessen die "klassische" stilistische Tiefenschicht der Komposition freilegende Vortragsweise einzustellen. Doch der 55-jährige Niederländer und Norrköpings Orchester unter Andrew Parrott machen es ihm leicht, im Vergleich mit den beiden hoch gepriesenen Vorgänger-CDs der Reihe scheint mir in dieser Produktion das künstlerische Endergebnis noch geschlossener, perfekter geraten - auch, weil die Aufnahmetechnik etwas mehr auf Distanz gegangen ist."- Tracklisting
