This week’s selection from the Podcast Vault is the second
of a three-part series from the earliest days of our blog (almost exactly 10
years ago!), featuring the historic DG 1960 all-Mravinsky stereo recordings
made withthe Leninngrad Philharmonic of Tchaikovsky’s last three “numbered”
symphonies. These recordings were made in London, and showcase a true Russian
rendition of these most Russian symphonies. The Fifth featured today stands out
as one of my favourites among the ones I have in my collection – Karajan,
Rostropovich, Maazel and Guido Cantelli.
Two other works are part of this montage; Stokowski conducts
the fantasy overture inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and as final track, a
singe movement from the Manfred Symphony, which we recently featured in its
entirety in a montage that is still on the roster of our Podcasting channel.
It still made sense to me, as filler, to provide the
complete performance by Riccardo Muti and the New Philharmonia Orchestra,
available as part of the complete Mutiu cycle (link here ) and as a single continuous track:
