Deutsche Grammophon celebrates the 60th birthday (1 April 2019) of Christian Thielemann with a 21-CD box set which brings together his complete orchestral and choral recordings on the Yellow Label. The focus of Thielemann’s work as a conductor remains the Romantic symphonic repertory associated with composers such as Brahms and Bruckner, together with the music dramas of Wagner and Richard Strauss, but he has also repeatedly demonstrated his familiarity with light music of the highest quality. Featuring works by Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Mozart, Schumann, Orff, R. Strauss and Wagner as well as contributions from Lisa Batiashvili, Maurizio Pollini, Münchner Philharmoniker, Philharmonia Orchestra, Staatskapelle Dresden and Wiener Philharmoniker.
