(This series of broadcasts were done as\none-hour programs in an empty hall between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. on Saturday\nnights preceding the regular subscription concerts at 8:00.) The seventh\nnumber, \"Tybalt's Death\", was omitted. It's the only Monteux recording of\nthe work that we are aware of. He never recorded any Prokofiev\ncommercially, and the only other known live broadcast of his music is the\n\"Classical\" Symphony with the Boston Symphony in a West Hill Radio Archives\nrelease.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe 1960 broadcast from WFLN-FM features three works, two of which Monteux\ndid not record commercially (the Hindemith \u003cem\u003eMathis der Maler \u003c\/em\u003e\nSymphony and the Schubert 9th), along with the Brahms \u003cem\u003eTragic \u003c\/em\u003e\nOverture, which he did record in the studio but which wasn't released until\ndecades after his death. We have opted to preserve the order in which the\npieces were performed in the 1960 concert, and retained the announcements.\nAll the recordings were made in the Academy of Music.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAs with the Stokowski Philadelphia Orchestra broadcasts of 1962 (PASC372\n\u0026amp; PASC379) the musical content of these recordings was preserved\nseparately to the applause and announcements, and in a different stereo\nformat normally reserved for broadcasting. I’ve employed cross-fades where\npossible to reduce any sense of a jump from one to the other, but\nsharp-eared listeners may still detect this.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe 1960 Philadelphia recordings have survived exceptionally well on\nmagnetic tape reels for the last sixty years, and sound quality is superb\nthroughout. By contrast the 1945 acetate discs which preserve the Prokofiev\nrecording have inevitably suffered some wear and damage since their\ncreation, and this will be heard from time to time where it has proved\nimpossible to eliminate in its entirety. I have retained as much of the\npre-and post-announcements here as possible, though unfortunately very\nlittle remains. Nevertheless, despite these caveats, this remains a hugely\nenjoyable performance and a vital addition to the Monteux catalogue.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Rose\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003eMonteux in Philadelphia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDisc One\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

No less cordial were the orchestra\nplayers, who stood in the guest’s honor.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nMaking no concession to his 85 years save for a temporary railing erected\nto help him on and off the podium, Monteux presented a well-chosen program\nwith veteran aplomb. The visitor, one of the grandest of the grand old men\nof music of our time, is obviously liked and respected by Dr. Ormandy’s\nplayers, and they gave him even more than their usual expert support.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe afternoon opened with the Brahms “Tragic\" overture. Then came Paul\nHindemith’s suite from his opera “Mathis der Maler,” which dates from 1934\nand was considered pretty avant garde in its day. But like much of this\nauthentically gifted composer’s works, it has worn well and found its own\nlevel brilliantly over the years. Almost a semiclassic in the repertory\nnow, “Mathis” is as accessible today as, say, late Richard Strauss or early\nSchoenberg.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nA colorful and graphic tone poem in three parts, the suite was inspired by\nthe religious paintings of the 16th century German master Mathias\nGrünewald.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nWith its resolved dissonances, fragmentary but expressive themes and\ndramatic chromaticism, it was given a splendid publication that won the\nmaestro prolonged applause.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe last half of the bill was entirely devoted to the “heavenly length” of\nthe Schubert Seventh Symphony. That superb classic, the “Great” C major,\nwith its enchanting melodies and infectious rhythmic pulse, was heard in a\nperformance bright with intelligence, warm with understanding and validated\nby first rate musicianship. It won Monteux an extra ovation.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Philadelphia Inquirer\u003c\/b\u003e, 5 March 1960\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f","brand":"Pristine Classical","offers":[{"title":"Stereo \u0026 Ambient Stereo 24-bit FLAC","offer_id":55010079932782,"sku":"ovw1789306406226","price":26.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stereo \u0026 Ambient Stereo 16-bit FLAC","offer_id":55010079965550,"sku":"aeg1789306406227","price":16.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"320kbps Stereo \u0026 Ambient Stereo MP3","offer_id":55010079998318,"sku":"bru1789306406228","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/3986\/5966\/files\/monteux-in-philadelphia-prokofiev-brahms-hindemith-schubert-19451960---pasc594_1.jpg?v=1789306413","url":"https:\/\/www.harborviewgoods.shop\/products\/monteux-in-philadelphia-prokofiev-brahms-hindemith-schubert-19451960-pasc594","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
