About

Oskar Fried conducting various orchestras, in live and studio recordings 1927 to 1937, with Astra Desmond (contralto) in Mahler's Von der Schönheit from Das Lied von der Erde.

More fascinating musical archaeology from Arbiter gives us this wide-ranging programme conducted by Berlin-born Oskar Fried. Variable sound, as one would expect, but the two major works (Mozart’s ‘Jupiter’ and Stravinsky’s ‘Firebird’ suite) give a valuable demonstration of his conducting style.
