Carl SchurichtAbout
Schuricht’s complete Decca recordings, all from the mono era; includes a 48-page booklet with an essay by Ivan March (former editor of The Penguin Guide).
“The piece cannot be performed better than that!” - Wilhelm Furtwängler on Schuricht’s achievement in Beethoven’s Fifth
“Schuricht was among that school where the musical essence was of the utmost importance … This German school tends towards strictness and thoroughness, despising superficiality, dedicating itself to just one thing: the selfless communication of the musical message … to make music as authoritatively, honestly and inconspicuously as possible.” - Harold Schonberg, New York critic
“He conducted the orchestra with his sharp eyes that can handle orchestra members as he wanted. To my surprise, his music did not let me feel his age, or rather it sounded more vividly than that by many younger conductors. I naturally took off my hat to such a musician” - Seiji Ozawa
“It has often been said of Schuricht that he was above all an honest musician, a virtue that remains paramount in any assessment of his art” - Rob Cowan, Gramophone
