Concerto grosso pour orchestre à cordes et pianoGeorge Schick - CSO - 3/5/1952 - Mercury/EMI |
||
Il s'agit ici d'un 33t qui était paru initialement sous étiquette Mercury
(cf. le Bartok réédité en CD depuis). On constatera ici encore l'éclectisme
du chef dans cette œuvre attachante, très néoclassique, avec des cordes
très poétiques. À noter que Kubelík
créera la version orchestrale de la Suite hébraïque
pour violon avec Milton Preves en soliste et l'orchestre de Chicago en
1953. From our knowing, this Bloch piece has never been reissued at
least in France. One thinks to Martinů music. Very moving music despite its
neoclassicism.
À noter la récente réédition réalisée à partir d'un vinyl chez
Forgotten records. (19/6/11)

the Internationale Opera Company, the Miami Opera Guild and the Little
Symphony of Montreal in the 1940's, and from 1950-56 he was associate
