August 2015 ∙ British Gramophone ∙ Rob Cowan ∙ Rafael Kubelík conducts Bruckner, Bartók, Mozart and Hindemith
Rafael Kubelik conducts the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Bruckner’s Symphony No 3 (1878 version edited by Fritz Oeser; recorded 1959), a reading filled with tension and excitement. From the same concert, Bartök’s Mucic for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is given the sort of forceful, rugged performance. You could imagine Furtwängler conducting. On the same CD set there are two Kubelik staples with the Hessian Mozart’s prague Symphony and Hindemith ‘s Symphonie Metamorphosis, both as gripping as you’d expect.
