Great Sounding Classical Title from EMI!
180g Audiophile Vinyl Cut from the Original EMI Stereo Analogue Master Tapes at Abbey Road Studios!
"A selection of delightful Russian music, brilliantly conducted and beautifully played..." said the GRAMOPHONE on this album's stereo release in July 1960. This atmospheric and superbly recorded album displays all Kletzki's hallmark qualities: precision of ensemble, clarity of instrumental detail and warmth of orchestral sound and has long been a collector's item.
Although Paul Kletzki is now remembered as primarily a conductor, it was as a composer that he first made his mark in the 1920s and 1930s. He came to the attention of Toscanini and Furtwangler, the latter who permitted Kletzki to conduct the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in 1925 and championed his many compositions. His bitter personal experiences of the Second World War, however, in which he lost many of his family, appeared to destroy his creative spirit and he stopped composing in 1942. The rest of his career was devoted to conducting. He made several recordings for EMI in the Fifties and Sixties.
Recorded on August 30 and September 3 & 4, 1958 at the Kingsway Hall, London with legendary producers Victor Olof and Peter Andry (Capriccio Italien) and engineers Harold Davidson and Robert Gooch (Capriccio Italien).
"Paul Kletzki has something of Beecham's genius for giving new life to moribund musical showpieces, and he uses the same methods: nicely-judged tempo, beautifully-tailored melodic phrasing, firm rhythmic accents timed to a split second, and an emphasis on significant detail... The Philharmonia... is at its brilliant best... the recording is clear and well rounded..." -GRAMOPHONE, DC
