Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Carl Schuricht

Bruckner: Symphony No.7; Mozart: Symphony No.38 - Recorded Live at the Salzburg Festival, August 1964 — Previously Unpublished

The Berlin Philharmonic gave five concerts at the 1964 Salzburg Festival: under Karajan, Mehta, Sawallisch, Schuricht and Szell. Carl Schuricht took listeners back to a nearly forgotten golden age of orchestral playing. One has only to hear his exquisite shaping of the exposition of the Adagio from Bruckner’s Symphony No.7 to realize what his ‘old school’ methods could achieve. This recording’s program also features an equally compelling reading of Mozart’s Prague Symphony.
