Notes & Reviews:
This is one of the more important historical CDs issued of the great German-born conductor Fritz Busch in that it brings together for the first time a collection of very rare broadcast performances under his baton in very good, mainly post-war, sound.
"The "essential" Fritz Busch emerges in Beethoven's resounding Fifth Symphony, a colossus of a rendition on a par with the best of another demonic German, Erich Kleiber. This survives as his only inscription of the work. Driven with an ineluctable fury and girth - but no less sensitivity in the relatively quiet passages - the performance will doubtless warrant comparison with Toscanini's various readings. But I would venture to look to the contemporary reading of this vital symphony that the Philharmonic made with Vittorio de Sabata (1892-1967) for anything like the kinetic will-power inherent in this crushing, heroic interpretation. Highly recommended!" - Audiophile Audition
