Bruno Walter - Leonore no. 3 - Part 1

[enaralva]

I do not know why Hitler disliked the way Walter conducted, he is a master in Beethoven and conducts with art, accuracy and passion.

In my opinion, the best versions of Leonore No. 3 are by Bruno Walter.Thank you for posting this great live performance of my beloved great conductor.

Thank you VERY much for sharing this with us. I have this performance in its entirety both on LP and on CD; an OUTSTANDING and passionate and well-performed FIDELIO throughout, and finally with the spoken dialogue back in place and no more "Bodanzky recitatives"!! And with a GREAT cast and conductor: Flagstad, Maison, Kipnis, Huehn, Farell, Laufkotter, and Janssen, and, of course, BRUNO WALTER.

I don't know... sounds kind of raunchy. BUT that's probably just the recording quality not doing the orchestra justice. this was also live... still thanks. I'm playing this with an orchestra right now...
