From the festival history of the LUCERNE FESTIVAL: Carl Schuricht conducts Brahms and Mozart With this publication from the series "Historic Performance", audite, in cooperation with the LUCERNE FESTIVAL, presents two live recordings from the years 1961 and 1962 and recalls the conductor, Carl Schuricht, who received great attention only in his old age - as one of the last representatives The old German conductor generation and a master, especially of the classical-romantic repertoire. The two live recordings show how compelling conviction and intensity unfolded Schuricht's interpretative approach - his immensely inspired practicality. In Mozart's last piano concerto in B flat major K. 595 with Robert Casadesus as a soloist, Schuricht, together with the Swiss Festival Orchestra, proves to be a compulsive accompaniment. And in the second symphony of Johannes Brahms, together with the Vienna Philharmonic, his inspired objectivity is clear, but the conductor's great age does not allow anything. The publication is supplemented by unpublished photos from the festival archive.
