Beethoven - Fidelio, Op. 72: Overtüre

[lambecolin]

A great recording.

Yes, it's amazing the differences between this performance, the 1960 Covent Garden one, and the (only months later) studio one. The final choruses in the Hungarian performance are almost unsingably fast, totally unlike the classic Philharmonia recording.

You mean "Fidelio" not Figaro, right?

[ijrupahsinosub]

obviously there was this "evolution" w/ok, but in this case maybe it had as much to do w/ok's take on the "magyar" aesthetic??

Beethoven's Fidelio overture in F major... lol

[Sinfoniette]

I have the famous Klemperer recording with the Philharmonia Chorus on Emi. Did he record the opera more than one time?

[Nachtmarchen]

No, there's just one studio recording and two broadcasts, a 61 one by the BBC and this one.
