BOXED SET

Discovered in the archives of Deutschlandfunk Kultur, these remarkable radio recordings made between 1951 and 1954 are published today for the first time since the 50s, entirely remastered. These are moving testimonies of the intact public enthusiasm for music in post-war Berlin and Ferenc Fricsay's central role in rebuilding the city's musical life, mainly as conductor of the Symphony Orchestra. RIAS of Berlin. Although Fricsay's recording career lasted barely 12 years, almost all classical music connoisseurs consider him a legend. His style has paved the way for many facets of what is now considered enlightened direction, especially in Mozart. This trilingual record includes an essay on the founding of the RIAS orchestra and their particular connection to Fricsay, as well as a text by the conductor himself about his relationship with Mozart and his music. Indeed, Fricsay considered that these radio broadcasts "lay the foundations for a better understanding of the greatest musical spirit to have never lived".
