Each track is a masterclass in orchestration, with Krenn skillfully guiding the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and the Choeur Pro Arte de Lausanne through the intricate compositions.
Werner Krenn, a renowned conductor known for his interpretations of classical and romantic repertoire, brings a unique perspective to these works. His attention to detail and ability to draw out the emotional depth of the music is evident in every note.
