Opera Ballets - Ferenc Fricsay - Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra
This release is a true sleeper - an unexpected gem that shines through both its exceptional sound and performance. Its audio quality rivals and even surpasses in some respects that of the best recordings from Decca, RCA, and Mercury of the era. Released by DGG in 1960, it features the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by the legendary Hungarian maestro Ferenc Fricsay. A protégé of Bartók, Kodály, and Dohnányi, Fricsay’s early passing at 49 makes this recording a rare and invaluable treasure for any classical music enthusiast. Don’t miss the chance to experience this remarkable recording.
