"Thirty years after his Boston Symphony Orchestra recording of the Second Symphony - long regarded as a benchmark in this work - his enquiring mind is still finding subtly new ways of guiding listeners through the composer's musical logic. Here there was a real feeling of progression from the fragmentary motifs of the opening movement to the climatic 'big tune' of the finale" Daily Telegraph Concert Review

Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 43

Recorded 29th November, 1950 in Symphony Hall, Boston


Boston Symphony Orchestra, Serge Koussevitzky

This disc restores to the catalogue, after an absence of more than 50 years, Koussevitzky’s second recording of Peter and the Wolf, with Eleanor Roosevelt as narrator. Taped during his last recording sessions on 29th November, 1950, Koussevitzky’s performance of Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2 is given with an electricity that transcends studio conditions, yet it is not without light, shade and emotional retreat. The final such example of Koussevitzky’s art, which pertinently concludes this disc, is a rapt and expressive account of Grieg’s The Last Spring, notable for the warmth and intensity of the Boston strings.

“Koussevitzky’s is a red-blooded, wholly abandoned approach…. both warm and brilliant… a supreme conductor who has still not had his full due.” Gramophone
