haha yep, Quality recording, Absolutely right, i would have been haunted ! I am not a fan of Liturgic music but i am digging the level of communication from Scherchen trough these recordings.

Found four pretty rare Japan reissues of these 1952 recordings, all discs in mint condition for 50 cents each. Had to take them home !

Francois Bayle - Erosphère

Symphony No. 4 (Rafael Kubelik, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks) insane stuff

Symphony No.9

Symphony No.1 (Fritz Rieger, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks) & 2 'Adagio for grosses Orchestra' (Rafael Kubelik, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks )

Russian-ness, well spoken ! Thank you for giving some insights. edit: just thinking about the contradictions in classical Russian music, the Jazz album by Shostakovich might be a idiomatic example.

I don't want to be pretentious about my knowledge about these symphonies. I simply don't have a clue how they have to sound. I have the Weller set what i enjoyed more or less. Maybe Rohzdestensky's approach shedd more urgency. You mentioned; 'contradictory aspects' of Prokofiev's music, ... is that something he is wellknown for in general ? Interesting ...

i'am curious about this set.

a big surprise

For his Bach stuff, yes !
