About

This outstanding collection of extremely rare performances conducted by Sir John Barbirolli with the New York Philharmonic, of which orchestra he was chief conductor from 1936-1943, will be welcomed by collectors of great conducting all over the world. It includes several works which Barbirolli never recorded commercially, and demonstrates - as clearly as can be – the high international standard that this great orchestra maintained during those years under the young Englishman’s direction.

Here is a fabulous collection indeed, in very good sound from the period.
