Philharmonia Orchestra, Otto Klemperer

“These performances turn out to be the exact opposite anyone might expect from Klemperer… I like the opening tempo of the “Italian” enormously … the final Saltarello goes with great zest, the recording has excellent soft playing and the performance is everywhere very good.” Gramophone Magazine

Boston Symphony Orchestra, Charles Munch

Access to the publicly broadcast BSO concerts from this era has been extremely difficult even for researchers. This series of DVDs will make these performances available for the first time since they were broadcast.

Munch launched the BSO into television in 1955. He was an immensely popular conductor and well suited to being filmed.

This material represents some of the earliest televised concerts with the Boston Symphony and Charles Munch, and has been restored using the greatest care and state-of-the-art techniques. It is of exceptional musical interest and rare historic value.

Munch recorded Mendelssohn’s Symphonies Nos 3, 4 and 5 with the BSO on RCA.

Characteristically lively renditions, Munch’s interpretations of both symphonies are energetic and precise with excellent articulation from the BSO.

With Mozart’s Masonic Funeral Music as a bonus track – a new addition to his discography – this DVD is another fine example of a first class orchestra under one of its most charismatic Music Directors.

Two Munch/BSO DVDs from ICA Classics’ first set of releases have been awarded the Diapason d’Or in France’s Diapason magazine.

New Philharmonia Orchestra & Philadelphia Orchestra, Riccardo Muti

Mendelssohn’s ‘Scottish’ Symphony, Riccardo Muti’s choice for his first orchestral recording, led Gramophone magazine to judge that: ‘Muti seems a natural Mendelssohnian … this could hardly be more auspicious … full of electricity and a sense of occasion.’ The ‘Italian’ Symphony was subsequently greeted as ‘a glowing, exhilarating performance’, while assessing the ‘Reformation’ Symphony, the reviewer stated: ‘I am immediately impressed’. Complementing the works by Mendelssohn in this collection are tone-poems by Liszt and Franck.

“This is a performance con amore. Yet Maag never short-changes the symphony's drama and rugged power…The LSO's magnificent horn battalion - four instruments sounding like 16 - out-brays virtually all the competition in the closing pages.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2009
