Schubert Symphony #2.
Karajan/BPO.
All very nice of course, but really found myself giving him a bit of a hurry up in the Minuet and Trio. ( Supposed to be Allegro Vivace).
Recorded about 40 years ago. I wonder how he would do it if were still around today ?I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

I don't do many downloads, but I did purchase Gilels/Jochum in the two Brahms Concertos from Presto. These are brilliant and sound wonderful in the 'High Rez' versions. The line in the slow movement is reduced to near stasis but the performers pull it off, and when Gilels renters with thundering octaves supported by timpani rolls the effect had me jumping out of my recliner in excitement as the music swells to it's ecstatic surge. It's so much fun to hear a warhorse invigorated.
The 2nd is darn fine as well.

Otoh I just heard a Beethoven 3rd PC that I hated on the radio and it turned out to be Gilels/Szell. It really causes me to speculate on what is required for a successful partnership

Originally posted by richardfinegold View PostI was always partial to Fleisher/Szell and then later to Pollini/Abbado and had never heard the Gilels/Jochum, which were issued about the time that I started to listen to Classical, and these were probably unaffordable for me as full priced DG at the time (one could by 5 Columbia budget lps for the price of a DG when I was a teenager). I just love the palpable rapport between Conductor and Soloist.
