13:54 George Szell was quite always in love with the score he was conducting. He tried to touch it in caressing or dramatic assaults. His tentatives gave great music.
I haven't heard his mid-60's recording in some years now, but how could it be superior to this? Clarity, grace, and often a sheer Giulini-like beauty. Thanks very much for bringing this gem back and giving it to the world. Was this Op. 56a Szell's first stereo recording with the Cleveland?
Versión histórica. Intensa y elegante. La música fluye con exquisita naturalidad, con una dinámica insuperable. En las antípodas del estilo Karajan: aquí no hay ni vacua grandilocuencia ni edulcoramiento absurdo. Por otra parte, me parece intolerable la introducción de una cuña publicitaria en plena obra
Relativ objektive Interpretation dieser fein komponierten Variationen im angemessenen Tempo und mit angenehmer Dynamik. Zwar technisch perfekt, aber nicht so erregend wie erwartet.

I like this even better than the 1965 version.
This was recorded for Book of the Month Club Records, along with the Bach Suite #3, The Firebird Suite, and other pieces.
Lifschey + Gatwood
Marc Lifschey on oboe..... The best ever to play the instrument..... Along with Robert Marcellus, maybe the greatest wind section ever assembled.

Zoja Petkova Markovic , Thanks a lot. Have a nice day.
Was this not the 1965 stero version?
No, it was recorded in 1955, and is the first stereo recording of Szell and the Cleveland.
Marc Lifschey, oboe!
Best there was, but I'm prejudiced...

Sie sind auch nicht erregend.
