The Webern Op.10 was a familiar work in Giulini's concerts in late 1979. In the Los Angeles Phil. concert, given on 21st October 1979 (from the radio broadcast), Giulini played it twice without a pause between the two performances. He doesn't do that in this Concertgebouw concert, however.

There were a further five LAPO concerts on a US tour with the Webern given in late Nov/early Dec with an almost identical program to this Concertgebouw concert (Brahms 1 instead) but I don't know if any were broadcast so have no idea if he did the Webern repeat again.

Very nice to have this! Thank you. Do you have any Wagner conducted by Giulini? That's also not in his commercial discography. By the way, this is one of the finest renditions of the Andante-Adagio from Mahler 10 that I've ever heard!

Thank you very much indeed for such recording.

Guido said...

@daniele No Wagner, unfortunately... but I always hope that something can pop up from the archives, sooner or later.

Inutile d'espérer du Wagner par Giulini. C'est un compoiteur qu'il n'a jamais joué tout comme Puccini.

Giulini conducted Wagner very scarcely, bit he did conduct it. Not a whole opera, but little excerpts. I am sure some recording exists, since there is more than a concert and with more than an orchestra. There is a concert register showing this that circulates among connoisseurs.

Guido said...

Yes, some Wagner excerpts. There is no need to hope too much, but who knows.

The Concertgebouworkest was not yet 'Royal' by that time.
It was not until 1988.
