	Kurt Sanderling - At last, a maestro departs with dignity
		Sanderling, who turns 90 in September, is the last conductor to have experienced the symphonies of Dmitri Shostakovich in the raw.
		Sanderling was selective about the symphonies he liked, never bothering much, for instance, with the widely-performed Seventh.
		Sanderling was too fastidious a man to capitalise on his intimacy with genius in a blether of press interviews.

	Music under Soviet rule: Kurt Sanderling
		Sanderling was principal conductor of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra between 1960 and 1977.
		Sanderling has won a considerable reputation in the West since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and is still active with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.
		Sanderling's Shostakovich lacks the attack of Mravinsky and Kondrashin, inclining to the more sombre and monumental approaches of Rostropovich with the Washington NSO (Teldec) and the composer's son Maxim in his series with the London Symphony Orchestra (Collins Classics).

	GEMA News 165 - Straitened circumstances force conductor Kurt Sanderling to experiment - An important chapter in ...
		This experiment, born as it was of necessity, was successful only because Kurt Sanderling, who had emigrated from Germany in the Nazi period and who had worked at the Leningrad Philharmonic, had been invited to become director of the orchestra in Berlin in 1960.
		Kurt Sanderling, already an internationally successful conductor, was an especially gifted teacher, who, together with the young musicians, soon developed an orchestra of international repute.
		Kurt Sanderling's successors at the Berlin Symphonic Orchestra, namely Günther Herbig and Claus Peter Flor, were able to further develop the orchestra's existing qualities and have thus given a reunited Berlin an orchestra that is able to maintain its position in the rich musical spectrum that is Berlin.

	SIBELIUS The Symphonies Sanderling : Classical CD Reviews-Feb 2000 Music on the Web(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Sanderling is warmly in sympathy with these works catching the long march and trudge of the first movement (Leningrad's snow still on Sanderling's boots?) with a sharply accented and chiselled approach.
		Sanderling's account of the latter is extremely successful: buzzing with blade-sharp definition and with an impressive depth of recording.
		Sanderling is in touch with the hymn-like aspects of the second movement and the wintry serenade work of the woodwind is allowed to register clearly.

		Sanderling knew Shostakovich fairly well, especially later in the composer's life, and was present at the historic 1937 premiere of the Fifth (when the slow movement, a profoundly moving lament for those who died in the Terror, had the entire audience weeping for the friends they had lost).
		the second movement, Sanderling explains, is a parody of the entertainments laid on for party members: all of "Soviet culture" brutally edited into a one-hour fest: rehearsed-out Cossack dancing, soulless brass bands, the simpering little girl with her memorised speech praising the man with the big moustache...
		One amusing little detail to watch out for: after Sanderling has talked, fascinatingly, at length on the background behind one part of the symphony, he prepares to play it with the orchestra - only to be told that it's time for a statutory break.

	Floridian: Tearing down the walls
		Sanderling's misery came with a paradox: He enjoyed a life of entitlement as son of the prominent conductor Kurt Sanderling, artistic director of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra.
		Kurt Sanderling is a vital presence in Stefan's life, not just as beloved parent but also as mentor as his son prepared for his first season as head of an American orchestra.
		Kurt Sanderling is proud of his son being hired to lead an orchestra in the United States, but at his advanced age, it's unlikely he'll be able to see him conduct in Florida.

	MAHLER (1860 - 1911)Symphony No.10 [TD]: Classical Reviews- August 2001 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Kurt Sanderling was one of the first conductors to take up the second Deryck Cooke performing version of Mahler's Tenth Symphony after Wyn Morris gave the first performance in 1976.
		As in the second movement, Sanderling's own slight adjustments sound admirably right again and in the winding down towards the drum strokes he is good at the creepy end of the music, the muted brass especially memorable.
		Sanderling is a direct and highly intelligent Mahlerian who stresses the cerebral over the emotional and that approach suits this score well.

	Juilliard \| The Juilliard Journal Online
		Sanderling's father, renowned conductor Kurt Sanderling, was a personal friend of Shostakovich; their relationship influenced the younger Sanderling, as he recounted in a recent interview with The Juilliard Journal.
		Furthermore, Sanderling values this music not simply because it reflects an intense nexus of politics and culture, but because it asks in newly direct ways about the relevance of music and art in the midst of political turmoil and, more generally, within a politicized society.
		Sanderling continues: "In the experience of artworksâ”whether painting, music, or literatureâ”it is essential to examine their natural relationship to history in order to determine the degree to which what they say is still valid today.

		This is the true Bruckner sound, and when combined with Sanderling's expert instrumental balancing (the brass never cover the strings, but their presence is always full and rich), all of the elements are in place for a great performance.
		Sanderling understands that the opening movement, while moderate in tempo, has to have the energy of a true Allegro.
		There's the wonderful way Sanderling floats the second subject in the strings, allowing the violins to add just a touch of warm portamento to their phrasing.

		If the name Sanderling rings a bell, it may be because he's one of the most sought-after young conductors in the world.
		It also may be because Stefan's father, Kurt Sanderling, is regarded as one of our time's most important conductors--a happenstance which made for an extraordinary childhood.
		Sanderling's performances with the Kansas City Symphony May 14-16 mark the culmination of a fourteen-month exploration of ten conductors considered potential candidates for the post of music director--an attractive opportunity, given the financial stability of the Kansas City Symphony and the promise of a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center in 2008.

		Kurt Sanderling came to the Soviet Union from Germany in 1936, having been labeled a "non-Aryan" by the Nazi regime.
		Sanderling's Beethoven Second, recorded in 1956, is more interesting than the one he recorded early in the digital era.
		Sanderling's interpretation is traditional, with plenty of masculine muscle, but also with sensitivity to the work's roots – Haydn's late symphonies, for example.

		Sanderling pulls back the reins somewhat in the manic scherzo (especially compared to Ancerl's breathtaking speed), yet the strings play the first two notes out of sync and their less-than-cutting-edge articulation makes the movement more entertaining than enthralling.
		After a flowing and beautifully shaded slow introduction, Sanderling digs in his spurs for a surprisingly upbeat and vibrant finale, including a well-sounded tam-tam crash at the gripping climax.
		Sanderling's tougher, meaner Shostakovich is of a type rarely encountered today, and it's something you definitely should hear.

		Radio France is the source of this bright, splashy, rather bass-light document of Shostakovich veteran Kurt Sanderling guest-conducting an ensemble for which op.
		The live concert was performed just shy of a year after Sanderling and his own Berlin Symphony Orchestra took the score into the studio for Berlin Classics (0090182BC).
		Sanderling considers this to be "an anti-Stalin, anti-regime symphony", an interpretation made visual to the prospective buyer by Naïve's attractive packaging, with its cover photo from 1990 Budapest of the dismembered head and boot from a massive Stalin statue being hauled away on a hand cart.
