Cantelli Centenary 8 - Beethoven, Brahms




Cantelli performed with Backhaus
also the "Emperor" Concerto at La Scala (june 1955).
Not recorded, of course.

Anyway, one of the most famous collaborations with great soloists: 
a list including Rubinstein, Heifetz, Serkin, Casadesus...

Many unfortunately not documented at all: 
Michelangeli, Fournier, Janis, Milstein, Stern and others.


The Tragic Overture is compelling and well profiled,
perhaps too much in Toscanini's footsteps,
but the Alto Rhapsody is really a gem:
a very concentrated and mature reading.


FLAC (scans included)
