This week at Pristine we present our 750th orchestral release in the shape of Toscanini’s 5th May 1950 concert at Pasadena, California, with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. Highlights include Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ Symphony, Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture and Wagner’s Good Friday Spell. There’s also a special bonus track!
Writing in Gramophone magazine in July about the first volume, Rob Cowan stated: “Anyone who shuns recordings in favour of the live occasion has reason to make an exception for this recording: no orchestral concert I’ve heard, either in person or on disc, sounds more live than this one does. I urge you to buy it. Volume 2 is due out later this year. Needless to say, I can’t wait.”
We also celebrate Bruckner’s 201st birthday with a special 10% automatic discount on all his music at Pristine.
