Fritz Reiner / Chicago S.O
Eugene Ormandy
/ Philadelphia Orch (9-12);
Antal Dorati / Minneapolis (13-14)


“These legendary Pines and Fountains, recorded in Chicago still have the power to astonish, by the sheer quality of the orchestral playing and the richly translucent sound and incredibly subtle detail … wonderful internal balances in the music’s quieter passages are a credit to conductor and engineers … playing is quite glorious and many touches from the percussion add to the uniquely atmospheric quality” “Ormandy’s Feste Romane has great electricity and enormous excitement … the Philadelphia playing is fabulous…” (Church Windows): “Matins of St. Clara – the best musically, a vein of quiet melancholy, and a majestic St.Gregory the Great … Dorati has a real outing with his orchestra, which plays with utmost abandon”
