    I would love to see Pritchard's recording of Grieg's 'Peer Gynt' and the piano concerto with the late, great Mr. Peter Katin as soloist. It was recorded circa 1971 with the LPO as part of their W.D. & H.O. Wills Master series. It was a recording my father had on cassette tape and I have it still.

      I posted only the other week about how wonderful the Campoli Tchaikovsky recording was .

      I think Warner and EMI before it are missing a trick - just look at the success of Australian Eloquence . There must be all manner of 1950s treasures that have never been re-released . Salymap's much loved performance of the Dvorak Concerto with Tortelier and Sargent springs to mind .

        Is the Apex label still about? This could become Warner's Eloquence!

          I have just listened to my newly-acquired Campoli/LSO/Krips disc of the Beethoven concerto - really love it and I am so grateful to this Forum which is where I discovered its existence.

What a great violinist he was and considering how fabulous his Double Concerto with Navarra and Barbirolli is it is strange that he never appears to have recorded the Brahms concerto .

                At school, around 1960, our inspiring teacher of 'music appreciation' was Peter Fletcher. Anyone remember him?

                He introduced us to Campoli's playing and told us that he was downgraded by the cognoscenti, quite wrongly, because he played so much 'salon' music. As a classical musician he was Campoli, but as a salon musician he was Alfredo Campoli...

                  He used to tell a story about how he became Campoli. Apparently he got fed up of announcers saying 'I'm afraid old Campoli will now play....'

                            I have a CD with the Beethoven (Campoli/Boult) which is coupled with an absolutely dazzling Mendelssohn (Campoli/Krips) When I first listened to the Mendelssohn it seemed to be in a league of its own. Top recommendation, IMVHO!

                              But that won't help the release of the Campoli RPO Pritchard.
