Post Description

"The orchestra under its chief conductor played truly royally and won immense ovations (…) this performance of the First Symphony sounded like a premiere, drenched in Romanticism and with warlike attacks and with triumphal marches and folk tunes joyfully intermingled. All of the above was steered by the conductor’s skilful hands as though there was nothing more than self-evident simplicity instead of the most exalted compositorial calculation."
