the dream teamJanuary 17, 2017By bruce surtees (toronto, ON)See All My Reviews"The concerts given by George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra were always memorable events thanks to Szell who honed his orchestra to near perfection, the equal of the greatest conductor/orchestras in the world, notably Karajan/Berlin Philharmonic and Mravinsky/Leningrad Philharmonic. On many weekends in the 1960s we made our regular pilgrimage to Clevelands Severance Hall. We were not there on Wednesday, July13, 1966 to hear Isaac Stern, Leonard Rose and Eugene Istomin join the orchestra for the Beethoven Triple Concerto and Brahms Double Concerto. Doremi has resurrected a copy of the broadcast tapes of that concert and issued the concertos on single CD (DHR8047). To hear these lauded musicians, soloists, conductor and orchestra live in these high voltage performances is illuminating, preferable in many ways to their recorded performances of the same repertoire recorded two years earlier with Ormandy and The Philadelphia Orchestra. I trust that there is more to come from Cleveland via Doremi."Report Abuse
