Edwin Fischer and John Barbirolli play Mozart

Post by beaumonde »

Here is a magnificent recording of Mozart's E Flat Piano Concerto, K. 482, by Edwin Fischer and John Barbirolli conducting his Chamber Orchestra (ca. 1935, just before he took over the NY Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra). It is taken from RCA-Victor Set M-316 (the pressings are slightly later, ca. 1941 or so). Freshly transferred 2 days ago.

Enjoy!

I - Allegro
II - Andante
III - Allegro-Andantino cantabile-Allegro

Colorful, joyous reading of this work! and all participants play with much fluidity and elan.

Good selection, I enjoyed it very much. Especially as classical doesn't get much play on this board. :?
