...and I love it. (I also had the LP way back when....) Szell's conducting is electrifying, and the final moments with the narrator/speaker are hair-raising!Russell
Follow Ups:
Why thank you Russell,I couldn't have described it better myself.
Pilar Lorengar is great too.
I don't have a lot od stuff with Szell conducting but this is amazing.
I have probably played it 5 times in total!
Glad to know it was released on Cd. I think it is the only complete Egmont available.
Timbo
No there is Karajan (Ughrrrrr!!!), and Abbado (not too bad). But Szell and Pilar Lorengar are out of this world.
hi Kal,Is that Kalman Rubinson?
don't matter nohow anyways!
George Szell had real fire eh!
I kinda think the reason I didn't know about the Karajan 'complete Egmont' is I kind of avoid his stuff, reviews, even posts now, at least anything after the '63 set of LVB's Symphs. Except for R Strauss etc..
A bit more thought on Herbie the great.
I think HvK's greatest achievement was to somehow drag out his own 'OOZLUM bird event' for several decades! Despite that it quickly became evident that that was what it was. I kinda feel it started in the late '60's. Yet some of his acolytes want to infinitely postpone that ultimate fwoop! When even they would have to face up to what's been going on, even though he's already mouldering. And I am pretty certain I heard the final 'fwooP!' well before that. But I wasn't really focussed on Herbie at the time, maybe I imagined it. ;-)}
Abbado! Who's he? Oh yeah, Claudio, I remember now. Is he good at some stuff is he? Oh well. Didn't he work for DGG too?
Why oh why did/do DGG use so many %$$(*&g mikes!
sighhh!
timboPS if you like the bit on Herbies oozlum bird event, (I do, I quite got into it, even editing it!) - I'd be happy to repost it as a new thread, and see if we can't start a flame war with all the BOF's who love the preening jerk.
