Complete Symphonies

Gunter Wand was for me an outstanding personality in the German music world. In his final period in Hamburg with the NDR Symphony, I was privileged to accompany him right up to the end. There were many moving concerts I shall never forget. One should always be very careful when one speaks of ""great musical moments"", but the description undoubtedly fits the concerts given by Gunter in his old age. They were indeed great moments, unforgettable for those who experienced them."" - Rolf Beck, Director of the Orchestra and Chorus Department of Norddeutscher Rundfunk
