| |  | Beethoven - Orchestral Works
Live recording of a concert given on 28th May 1969 in The Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. “The smoothness of the Karajan's Beethoven is less in evidence than its expressive vehemence and monolithic phrasing. The opening gesture poses problems (first-night nerves?), but the thick-textured Fifth is a powerful and unremitting as always under his direction.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | The First Night of the Proms 1943
A very special release at this time of the year from Somm. A live recording of a concert given at the
Royal Albert Hall on 19th June 1943. “One would now be surprised to find such a first-half sequence as Bax’s London Pageant, Dukas’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Saint-Saëns’s Piano Concerto No 2, a Handel aria and Beethoven’s Fifth, though former approaches to programming are being revisited this season. The bittiness is compounded by the fact that only two Saint-Saëns movements survive, and one Beethoven (the Bax not at all). There is a pitch sag early in the concerto, but Moura Lympany’s account is enjoyable. Heddle Nash is the delightfully “period” tenor.” Sunday Times, 20th July 2008 *** “A young Moura Lympany gives a vivacious account of Saint-Saëns's Second Piano Concerto (although the central scherzo is missing from this off-air recording, and the pitch drops in the first movement); and the prized tenor Heddle Nash sings Handel. Dukas, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and an oddity in the shape of Lamar Stringfield's A Negro Parade complete an intriguing glimpse into a piece of Proms history.” The Telegraph, 19th July 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Furtwängler - The Early Recordings Volume 2
Volume 2 of the Naxos edition of Wilhelm Furtwängler’s pre-1940s recordings begins with a weighty account of Beethoven’s Egmont Overture followed by a galvanizing performance of the Symphony No. 5, Furtwängler’s first recording of the work. This is presented complete for the first time: a few bars of music went unrecorded during the transition from the first to the second side of the third movement and are replaced here by the inclusion of the corresponding bars from Furtwängler’s 1937 remake with the same orchestra. In the Overture to Weber’s Der Freischütz, Furtwängler’s volatile and ‘free’ conducting is remarkably convincing. “Furtwängler didn't enjoy recording, but his first recording of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in 1926, is fresh, invigorating and characteristic, though the sound will deter all but devotees.” BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2008 ***** “a fine performance, utterly characteristic in its power and malleability, and essential listening for anyone interested in this supremely great conductor.” Gramophone Magazine | | | (also available to download from $9.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
