About
Symphony No.1 in C major is a romantic and well constructed work, performed by the early Karajan/Walter Legge team, and the Philharmonia was certainly a crack ensemble at the time. The Second Symphony, which has, with some justice, been described as a paler copy of the First, brings an opening movement which under Rozhdestvensky’s baton moves forward strongly, generating much Slavic energy. Here tuttis are noticeably brash, but certainly not dull.
Recorded:
