Schumann-Symphony No. 3 "Rhenish"/Leibowitz Part-4 of 4

Rare. Rene Leibowitz conducts The International Symphony Orchestra (actually the London Philharmonic)

Early 60s

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 is a fabulous performance! Leibowitz's performances deserve to be much better known. In the fourth movement, I'd have relaxed certain parts a bit if I were doing myself, but I'm amazing by L's ability to "turn on a dime" as others have noted. Bravissimo!!!

la musica di Schumann è la musica più sensuale che sia stata mai scritta!!! Questo movimento e questa esecuzione in particolare mi hanno fatto perdere la testa per Lui quando avevo 16 anni!!! Quando sento la musica di Robert è come se facessi l'amore con Lui!!!!!!!....
