Rare. Rene Leibowitz conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, from 1962

Rene Leibowitz (1913-1972) was born in Warsaw but moved to Paris in his teens and there began a long, illustrious conducting career. Particularly interested in contemporary music, he studied with Webern and Schoenberg and wrote a detailed analysis of twelve-tone music. A keen ear for instrumental coloration (Ravel was his orchestration teacher) was evident in his kaleidoscopic transcriptions of such works as Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue in C (for double orchestra!). But he is best known for his often highly personal renditions of many staples of the Classical and Romantic repertoire.

  • This work always shakes me. Schumann sucked the marrow from Byron's poem & made it into a searing musical self-portrait--not of Manfred, the tragic magician, but of HIMSELF. I know we shouldn't read too much into the so called 'abstract' art form called music--but this stormy ride is not Mozart. Tragic, troubled, beautiful--that is R. Schumann--I don't care about Manfred--this is Robert w all his tragedies spilled out in breathtaking manner that torches one's heart & conscious. A great work.

  • I have the Toscanini version, is overwhelming.

  • ..if you ever get to the Toscanini version of Manfred....listen to those basses...the earth moves, shivers and thunders with the electrifying horrific power of the Toscanini version.....it makes the Szell version look weak......
