One of the Best
When Leinsdorf was on, he was brilliantly propulsive, and this powerful refurbishment, brightly lit and a Dynagroove early hit, is not to be missed. Kubelik found a bit more with the BSO years later, but Leinsdorf remains formidable.


A great release!
Despite the overwhelming popularity of Reiner's ground-breaking 1955 version (and I love it, too), this performance by Leinsdorf and the BSO has always been a very welcome alternative in my listening and a nice contrast to the Reiner. Leinsdorf makes of this music a more coherent whole in his more classical approach--there is greater unity, less "disjointedness", and perhaps also a bit less sharply accented. But, there is plenty of fire and intensity. The Bostonians play for Leinsdorf as it their lives depend on getting the most possible out of this music. And Leinsdorf opens the gates for them to put their collective glory on display. And a great display it is! Lewis Layton's recording is excellent, with great inner detail, tremendous dynamics, and lots of the natural air and reverberation from the hall. The transfer by HDTT is terrific: very clean, very clear, very low noise floor. I don't know how Bob accomplishes this magic, but he's done it yet again. An outstanding release by HDTT. Note that the Concerto for Orchestra is the only work on this reissue. At 37 minutes, the overall timing may seem a bit short for an album these days, but it matches the original Living Stereo reel-to-reel tape release from which I assume this is derived.
