Brahms: “Double” Concerto

(d) Zino Francescatti, Violin; Pierre Fournier, Cello; Columbia Symphony Orchestra

November 20, 1959; American Legion Hall

    • LP: Columbia ML 5493; Stereo: Columbia MS 6158

    • CD: CBS/Sony MK 42024; Sony SMK 64479


Hi,  this was on the radio this evening, made me feel like throwing my turntable into the garbage.  You can really hear francescatti and fournier leaning into their strings in certain passages as they are way out in front of the orchestra.  I see that Sony just re'released this on CD, I wonder which pressing the radio station was playing. Can anyone recommend?

thanks,
RWeissman
