Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured via the acoustic process, the eminent conductor delivers a brisk, tightly coiled interpretation of the composer's famously humorous and compact symphony. The ensemble is forced to rely on intense rhythmic bite and sharp articulation to overcome the fidelity limitations of the recording horn. The performance highlights Weingartner's celebrated, fundamentally objective approach to classical architecture.
