Mahler 3 - Erich Leinsdorf - live 1990




I really enjoyed this 1990 Leinsdorf live recording: but above all the SOBR offers a particular lush, opulent, really fantastic sound; from this point of view it is one of the most gorgeous versions of the Third I know. 

As always I checked and there is an upload on YT, but - sound quality aside - in that source the introduction of the IV movement is missing.

Note: It was a very old post, so at the moment I don't know where is my original Gershwin CD and where is the digital copy. I'll try to find it and I hope to prepare a reupload.

Munch conducts Berlioz - live 1963-67


 



I don't think I've seen this wonderful CD around, at least not recently: so I propose it to you a new rip, complete with scans. Like other French Munch live recordings of this period, it has a very special nervousness and electricity, which are particularly suitable for this repertoire.

Fortunately, everything is well picked up by a sound quality that is up to the situation. 



BERLIOZ

Symphonie Fantastique (Live june 23, 1963)

Le Corsaire, ov (Live september 25, 1967)

Benvenuto Cellini, ov (Live september 13, 1966)
