sample movement:
This recording,
originally released in conjunction with Haydn's Symphony No. 102 by Decca
in 1954, appears to have suffered the same fate as many superb recordings
of the early 1950's: it disappeared not long after the introduction of
stereo, and has not been seen since - until now.
Many
people, on hearing this recording, would see this as a real loss. Indeed,
surely only those who would insist on period instruments for Haydn would
find fault with this wonderful recording by the still relatively unknown
Solti, who was at the time the principlal conductor of the Bavarian State
Opera in Munich.
So
here's a chance to savour one of the greatest conductors of the postwar
years in a relatively rare recording, given the full Peter Harrison restoration
treatment and sounding quite superb!
