Title: Brilliant Budget Buy
Review: Don't you just love it when classic recordings get reissued on CD at a budget price?! Such is the case with this title in the "Universal Classics" series featuring Weber Overtures and the Clarinet Concerto No. 1, originally made in the mid 1960s for Deutsche Grammophon. I fell in love with conductor Rafael Kubelik years ago after being introduced to his recordings of Dvorak, and he produces the same glowing results here. Of course performing with his beloved Bavarian RSO on the Overtures, and the Berlin Philharmonic, with soloist Karl Leister on the Concerto, ensures performances of the highest quality. With classical budget lines beginning to inexplicably disappear (like Sony's "Essential Classics" series -- what's up with that?!), I'm delighted that UNI has made these great recordings available again at such an inexpensive price.
