Fritz ReinerAbout
The recordings here are the sum of his orchestral recordings made for the Decca Record Company. His Strauss is searing, and the thrill of the Brahms and Dvorak Dances has perhaps never been equalled – helped immeasurably, of course, by Decca’s state-of-the-art recording.
‘These are brilliant performances with every member of this great orchestra on his toes, and the 1961 recording wears remarkably well’ - Gramophone [Brahms, Dvorak]
‘I was bowled over by the splendour of the performances and gratified by the warmth and clarity of the recording … There is splendid ambience and range, a good stereo spread, clean definition and body. Both performances are immediately gripping: they are obviously of great distinction and I would go even further and say that they are inspired. Reiner was a Strauss conductor of quite exceptional insight and sympathy : his Tod und Verklärung seems to me the finest in the catalogue without exception and Till Eulenspiegel is certainly the equal of the finest both in terms of characterisation, orchestral playing and recording.’ - Gramophone [Strauss
