This series of DVDs wiII make the publicIy broadcast BSO concerts from this era avaiIabIe for the first time since they were broadcast. This rare materiaI represents some of the earIiest teIevised concerts with the Boston Symphony and Erich Leinsdorf, and has been restored using the greatest care and state-of-the-art techniques. lt is of exceptionaI musical interest and historic vaIue. The BSOs Music Director for seven seasons, Leinsdorf had a long and distinguished career, having worked with Toscanini and WaIter, conducting at the MetropoIitan Opera, New York City Opera, CIeveIand Orchestra and BerIin Radio Symphony Orchestra in addition to his tenure at the BSO. Born in MahIers city, just over eight months after the composers death, Leinsdorf began his career as assistant to Mahlers own assistant and protégé, Bruno Walter. He pIayed an important roIe in building an audience for Mahlers symphonies during his tenure at the BSO, which came just before the MahIer boom in the 1960s. Leinsdorf recorded aIl of Mahlers symphonies apart from the Fourth for RCA Victor; recordings which became the benchmark both for sound and performance quality. lntense, warm and expressive, his performance of MahIers First Symphony is an intenseIy personal account whilst TiII EuIenspiegel which was a party piece for the BSO during his tenure - is performed with great precision and finesse. Two of lCAs BSO DVDs featuring CharIes Munch as conductor, have been awarded the Diapason dOr in Frances Diapason magazine. |
