The idyllic beauty of Beethoven's "Pastoral"
A finely crafted performance by George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra.
Szell's rigorous conducting elicits a crystalline sound from the orchestra. This is a masterful performance that expresses the yearning for nature inherent in the "Pastoral" Symphony with both intelligence and emotion. The Cleveland Orchestra's high technical ability vividly portrays every detail of the work.
