Our Take

Thomas Schippers! The conductor with a name that sounds like a sleazy detective from a 1970s cop show. But trust us, there's nothing shady about his musical prowess.

A Retrospective is a whirlwind tour through the maestro's career, showcasing his collaborations with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Torino della Rai, New York Philharmonic Orchestra, and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. From bombastic brass to delicate strings, Schippers effortlessly guides each ensemble through a range of emotions, leaving listeners breathless and begging for more.

The album kicks off with a thunderous rendition of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, setting the tone for what's to come. Schippers' interpretation is bold, daring, and unapologetically grandiose. But don't worry, things get a bit more introspective with his take on Barber's Adagio for Strings.

As the album progresses, Schippers continues to surprise and delight with unexpected choices and daring tempos. Whether he's tackling a classic warhorse or a contemporary gem, he brings a fresh perspective that keeps listeners on their toes.

So, if you're looking for a musical rollercoaster ride that's equal parts thrilling and thought-provoking, look no further than Thomas Schippers: A Retrospective. Strap in, turn up the volume, and get ready to experience orchestral magic like never before. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
