Paris Conservatoire Orchestra conducted by René Leibowitz
Reader's Digest 12 LP box: "Festival of Light Classical Music". 1961 Decca LP's. Recorded: 18,21,23-27 June 1960 - La Maison de la Mutualité, Paris
NO Auto de-click or Re-Eq.. Contains some distinctly substandard "Le 2nd XI" playing (but nice Trumpet) - however each LP contains decent (+) performances..

Many thanksfor posting these items. I grew up with that set of records, and I look forward to hearing these recordings again.
ReplyDeletePreviously (2019/20) uploaded the Boult + Freccia (4LPs) from this set.
ReplyDeletePossibly a bit harsh to remark adversely on the playing, but some soloists sound 'scrawny' - Silvestri's 1958 ALP1684 (also the PCO) of Sorcier/Macabre were far more characterful (and closer-balanced) -and the orchestra can sound un-disciplined. Possibly just me - but the opening of "La Valse" seemed unusual (?).
Muchas gracias, este archivo musical es maravilloso, saludos.
ReplyDeleteDecided to upload as needed to clean these "contaminated" LP's to hear them properly... The Borodin's are good.
