Misunderstood/neglected/ignored conductors

[teamsaint]

I wasn't aware of that box.

Just bought one

At £1.60 a disc, be daft not to.

Merci bien Monsieur LeBoeuf

In fact quite rude. Bit like ignoring entertainment (such as football matches) provided by the locals when on holiday abroad.The height of bad manners,I always think.
(saving my dosh for other projects, though...)

As previously mentioned on this thread, Carl Schuricht.

Currently playing Bruckner Symphony #3, Wiener Philharmoniker, Carl Schuricht. Recorded December 1965. EMI.

Astonishing performance (and sound)!

I agree and the Beethoven cycle is very intersting too, given the French orchestra (Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire (the predecessor of the Orchestre de Paris) and the early 1950s recordings.

Horst Stein.

To bore you all to death - a quite superb five star Alpine Symphony.
And I have a VPO/Stein Decca Wagner Overtures LP that I treasure.

The Bamberg one, Alpie?

Indeed.

I played the Beethoven symphonies a few months back and having only played them through twice, I must go back to them more often

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

The Bamberg one, Alpie?

That's the one. However, I have doubts about the wind machine. It sounds too much like a recorded windstorm.

I have that Bamberg Alpensinfonie and it is indeed superb. I remember Horst Stein from his 1970s broadcasts from the Bayreuth Festival. There are also fine performances of Bruckner 2 & 6 with the VPO on the Eloquence label.

He also did some more-than-decent Sibelius with the Suisse Romande.

Quite possibly the most exciting 'En Saga' ever committed to disc.

Listening to this at the moment...........

I don't think that Cantelli is misunderstood, neglected or ignored. He died at a very early age, and left behind a reasonable legacy of wonderful studio recordings but that's that. Most of the off-air recordings duplicate the studio recordings. A bit like Ataulfo Argenta who appeared & disappeared like a comet in the firmament (there's poetic for you)

I think that EMI's ICON box of Cantelli's recordings is a winner

Very much delayed pedantry this - but the one and only Proms performance (2007?) of Ilya Muromets was conducted by Vassily Sinaisky, not Yuri Temirkanov. He was interviewed somewhere and commented to the effect that his interest in the piece was spurred by Edward Downes' recording with the same orchestra (BBC Phil). The interpretations were very similar and did make as convincing a job of the piece (which does stretch its material to breaking point in places) as there's likely to be.

Anyway, I'll get me coat...

Whoops ! My most vivid memory of that Prom was that we were forced to stand right in front of the piano for the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in the first half due to a massive camera platform taking up our normal Arena spot. the opening piano chord nearly stunned me! Luckily we were able to move back a bit for the Gliere,

Me - When I was about 12yrs & especially so with the Egmont Overture helping this guy Sargent along, great stuff !!
