- Die Ideale (No. 12): A musical homage inspired by Friedrich Schiller's poetry, this symphonic poem explores themes of aspiration, struggle, and the realization of ideals. Its sweeping orchestral textures are perfectly executed under Masur's precise guidance.
- Festklänge (No. 7): A festive and spirited composition, this piece was designed to evoke jubilant celebration. Masur and the Gewandhausorchester imbue the work with vitality, delivering an exuberant interpretation.
