The great Artur Rodzinski conducts a most vertiginous version of Sheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov, in one of his most inspired recordings ever. The Cleveland Orchestra demonstrates an infallible virtuosity, with the miraculous violin solos of the late Joseph Fuchs. A highly narrative interpretation with ideal tempos, rarely equalled, like the present version of Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet. These rare recordings are presented here in their most natural sound, with marvellous detail and an impressive dynamic range, especially for its time (1939). This volume marks the beginning of the reissue of the complete 78 rpm of Artur Rodzinski . ---- YOU CAN LISTEN TO A BBC RADIO 3 BROADCAST OF THIS CD WITH COMMENTS IN « RADIO BROADCASTS »
