Wiener Philharmoniker, Karl Böhm Recorded live at the Grosser Musikvereinssaal, Vienna, 17-18
September 1970 “When writing down an opera Strauss naturally had a precise idea of how certain passages were to sound, and if, at rehearsal, one passage or another did not completely correspond to what he had imagined, he ceaselessly criticized it and made corrections, but nothing satisfied him. On such occasions he really did not show his best side, but I willingly accepted it from such a personality because I learned such an enormous amount from him” Karl Böhm “Least appealing of conductors, Böhm achieves impressive results from an anxious-looking Vienna Philharmonic. This is a chastening lesson in precision, concentration, obedience.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Wiener Philharmonike, Herbert von Karajan Recorded: Sofiensaal, Vienna, June 1960 (Strauss); September 1961 (Holst) 'I found this an enormously exciting performance of The Planets ... Karajan gives an absolutely splendid performance, breathing new life into the music ... and it is just so welcome to see how finely this music comes up in the hands of a ... different conductor of such gifts ... this is a performance to be heard ... Karajan has brought a new excitement to this music ... I do hope he is playing it to his audiences in Vienna'. Gramophone May 1962 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Staatskapelle Dresden, Rudolf Kempe (Recorded 1970 & 1973) ‘A magnificent account of Metamorphosen: eloquent, powerful and well controlled. Kempe’s Don Juan has splendid panache and brilliance, excellently characterised and beautifully played, and Till Eulenspiegel is a model of wit and human warmth, rich in energy and earthy good humour.’ (The Gramophone) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
