It was quite a luxury to have André Cluytens as the assistant conductor, and the program was truly magnificent, with a total of 12 concerts held.\nThis release features a live recording of the concert held in New York for “Human Rights Day,” set against the unique backdrop of the United Nations General Assembly Hall.\nThe performance by the perfectly matched duo of Schuricht and the Vienna Philharmonic is quite excellent; amidst the electrifying atmosphere, the bold interpretive touches evident throughout allow us to experience the unique charm of Schuricht in a live setting.\nIncidentally, thanks to the success of this tour, Schuricht made guest appearances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Symphony Orchestra the following year.\nAlthough this CD was originally released by Archiphon quite some time ago, it had long been out of print, so this reissue is a welcome addition.\n\n・Beethoven: “Egmont” Overture\n・Beethoven: Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92\n・Mozart: Symphony No. 35 in D Major, K. 385, “Haffner”\n・Mendelssohn: “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” – Scherzo\nVienna Philharmonic Orchestra\nKarl Schuricht (conductor)\n\nRecorded: December 10, 1956 (mono)\nRecording location: United Nations General Assembly Hall, New York\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archipel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595636171041,"sku":"4035122403527","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4035122403527.jpg?v=1790482046","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-it\/products\/4035122403527","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
