JOHANNES BRAHMS: Variations on a Theme by Haydn
FRANZ LISZT: Les Préludes
GEORGES BIZET: Carmen Suite - Ten Orchestral Excerpts Philadelphia Orchestra,
Eugene Ormandy, conductor
The
Brahms and Liszt were tranferred from a quite rare 1949 Columbia 10"
LP with exceptional dynamic range for that time with "muscular"
low end and no fake reverb added. (That intrusive effect was to come
later for Columbia's Academy of Music recordings). The Bizet Carmen Suite
although a monophonic recording, was issued ten years later and recorded
in the reverberant Broadwood Hotel Ballroom in Philadephia. All is vintage
Ormandy and the solo work is what one can expect from the Philadelphia
Orchestra first chair players. A must have CD!
ROY HARRIS: Sonata for Violin and Piano (1947)
Josef Gingold, violin; Johana Harris, piano ROBERT PALMER: Quartet for Piano and Strings (1942)
John Kirkpatrick, piano with Members of the Walden Quartet
Two
highly enjoyable chamber works with top notch players. These two
works do not deserve to be neglected any longer. Josef Gingold
was was teacher of many notalbe violinists including Isaac
Stern. Both recording were done very well and a near mint Columbia
pressing was given to us for transfer tp CD
