 Classical CD Reissues Pt. 1, 7/04-8/04 AUDIOPHILE AUDITION
This disc splices two individual, Dvorak concerts by the late Rafael Kubelik (1914-1996), with the Violin Concerto's deriving from 2 November 1979, and the Symphony No. 7 from 2 April 1978.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the collaboration between Yuuko Shiokawa and Kubelik is her instrument, the very "Emperor" Stradivarius 1715, formerly owned by Jan Kubelik, the conductor's father, and passed directly to his son.
Kubelik, like Szell and Leitner before him, brought a long association with this work to the podium; and here in the Munich Herkulessaal, he is in full command of the colors and nuances of his Bavarian orchestra.

Rafael Kubelik recorded a good if not spectacular Tchaikovsky Fourth for EMI with the Vienna Philharmonic, and this one is even better.
