브람스: 8개의 헝가리안 무곡/ 드보르작: 5개의 슬라브 무곡/ 슈트라우스: 틸 오일렌슈피겔의 유쾌한 장난, 죽음과 변용
Fritz Reiner, Wiener Philharmoniker
정교한 지휘의 귀재, 프리츠 라이너가 데카 레이블에 남긴 빈 필과의 연주 녹음(56년, 60년). 라이너의 정밀한 지휘가, 오케스트라의 민첩하고 정확한 반응을 이끌어내며, 정교한 앙상블을 들려준다. 눈빛으로 단원을 제압하는 라이너의 통솔력은 긴장도 높은 활력을 더하여 준다. 슈트라우스는 뜨겁게 타오르고 있으며, 브람스와 드보르작에서의 긴장감은 유례가 없다. 데카의 천재 프로듀서 컬쇼가 담당한 명 레코딩은 빈필의 다이나믹한 사운드를 완벽하게 담아낸다.

BBC Music Magazine March 2013 ****
“Inexplicably divided into two short discs (previously one long one), these are ideally stylish and warm-hearted performances. The Strauss tone poems are highly charismatic.”
Gramophone Magazine (Brahms, Dvorak)
“These are brilliant performances with every member of this great orchestra on his toes, and the 1961 recording wears remarkably well”
Gramophone Magazine (Strauss)
“I was bowled over by the splendour of the performances and gratified by the warmth and clarity of the recording … There is splendid ambience and range, a good stereo spread, clean definition and body. Both performances are immediately gripping: they are obviously of great distinction and I would go even further and say that they are inspired. Reiner was a Strauss conductor of quite exceptional insight and sympathy : his Tod und Verklarung seems to me the finest in the catalogue without exception and Till Eulenspiegel is certainly the equal of the finest both in terms of characterisation, orchestral playing and recording.”
Presto Classical James Longstaffe April 2014
“Reiner made many classic recordings of Strauss's music, and I think one of the best is this dramatic, fiery performance of Tod und Verklarung with the Vienna Philharmonic. With biting brass and radiant strings, it's an exhilarating experience.”
