Showcasing a little-known and unjustly neglected composer, this Chandos box set gathers Ernst von Dohnányi's most popular works. This set includes performances by such prestigious artists as James Ehnes, Howard Shelley and Clifford Lantaff. An absolute must-have for any Dohnányi fan or a great way to begin a collection for a classical newcomer.
REVIEW:
No one offers competition for this set. Of course you can now build a Dohnányi collection from individual discs but the performance and production values in the case of this attractively priced set will have you wondering why you took the trouble.

This compact and comprehensive box set shows there is much more to him than what people think they know. Chandos’ series of recordings of his orchestral works, performed by the BBC Philharmonic under Matthias Bamert, with an impressive roster of soloists, significantly increased his public profile, and is now regarded as benchmarks for the repertoire.
