All of us are well aware about the initial stage of Kubelik at the early Fifties with CSO. But Kubelik made a bunch of admirable and unequalled recordings with this prestigious Orchestra.
This album confirms it: Ravel's Couperin find in Kubelik an idiomatic lexicon; Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem is performed with drive and tension; Dvorak's Eighth is another admirable testimony. Superbly phrased and better played; kudos for Walton's Belshazzar feast; Wagner is memorable too.
If you're a devoted fan of this Orchestra (as I do) you should not leave aside from your collection this undeniable musical gem. Magnificent sound quality, taking into account these are live recordings.
Be my guest!
