Mozart, Martin, Strauss - Fournier & Szell live in Cleveland, 1967


 


Pierre Fournier also performed the World Premiere of Frank Martin's Concerto in Basel on January 26, 1967. Here is the American premiere, a few months later. With variable sound quality the Concerto and the Don Quixote can be found around (I don't know if it's the same for the two Mozart Marches), anyway here you can listen for the complete program and the source is very good. Final announcement included.
