Henryk Szerying (violin) and Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Charles Munch
It has been really a while that I listened to a romantic era piece this attentively. I stumbled upon this particular recording today morning and it was a greatly pleasant surprise as this was one of cassette tapes that I had listened to when I was very young. Those cassette tapes include
- Beethoven Symphony No. 6 by Vienna Symphony Orchestra conducted by Otto Klemperer
- Beethoven Symphony No. 7 by by RIAS Symphony Orchestra (Radio Symphony Orchestra Berlin) conducted by H. Karajan
- Mozart Symphonies Nos. 40 and 41 by Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by H. Karajan
- Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D Major by Henryk Szerying and Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Charles Munch
I listened to those when I got in my bed probably hundreds of times each. That kind of experience leaves deep and emotional impression in your subconsciousness. I found and collected other 3 recordings but I was not able to collect this because this had been out of print. So, it is great to be able to listen to this particular recording.
I thought that this was recorded live because there was a distinctive noise in the third movement, which seemed to be removed when it was remastered. It is not easy to find a great performance recorded in live but such a rare jewel makes me very emotionally excited.
Considering where I am in my life, this may be a small sign of temporal location, to where I am headed.
