Micophones in beeld, personeel in beeld etc. Toch 1 van de beste series ooit gemaakt in mijn opinie. Tegenwoordig MOET alles perfect zijn, als je de commercie mag geloven. Niet haalbaar dus niet realistisch en vervloekbaar. inderdaad, dit afbeelding is pure socialistische realisme - en die bestaat niet meer... [ik won sinds 2016 in Nederland maar mijn Nederlands bestaat ook bijna niet]... now playing: Lubomir Maly / Libuse Krepelova - Rubinstein / Joachim, works for viola and piano Quote
Peter Friedman Posted June 1, 2019 Report Posted June 1, 2019 It is a close call between this and the Du Pre version of the Dvorak Cello Concerto. Both are outstanding. Quote

Larry Kart Posted June 1, 2019 Report Posted June 1, 2019 FWIW, Rosty on the above recording: ""Some time after the disc was released, I was phoned by my friend Sviatoslav Richter, who said that he had just heard the recording made with Václav Talich and found it a work of genius! He was enthused. I consider this recording of Dvořák's cello concerto the best I have ever made. And even though later on I recorded the concerto another seven times, it is the one that means the most to me. Throughout my life I have remained faithful to that which Václav Talich taught me."

JSngry Posted June 2, 2019 Report Posted June 2, 2019 So, Václav Talich is a name to watch for in general then, yes? I've picked him up doing a few Bartok things lately and have really enjoyed them, a lot. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 2, 2019 Report Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Yep. Don't know his Bartok. Edited June 2, 2019 by Chuck Nessa Quote

Talich did conduct some Bartok early on -- e.g Piano Concerto No. 2 and the Dance Suite -- but I'm not aware of any Talich Bartok recordings. You may be thinking of the Bartok recordings of the Talich Quartet, founded in 1964 by violinist Jan Talich. Vaclav Talich's primary repertoire was Czech -- Smetana, Dvorak, Suk, Janacek. Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted June 3, 2019 Report Posted June 3, 2019 Symphony 6 from this set. A favorite transversal since about 1970. Berlin is in great shape and everything goes well. Nice recording too. Quote
