The exiled Bruno Walter turns darkness into light and despair into hope in this searing performance of Beethoven's Leonore no.3 overture in the sombre days of early 1941.
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...
