  Rafael Kubelik - A life for Gustav Mahler
Rafael Kubelik's life as a conductor has been Mahler?orientated from the beginning, and he has come to grips with Mahler's music again and again.
Kubelik possesses to a high degree the ability to understand Mahler's detailed language of signs, interpreting the full meaning of the written musical text and realizing it with the aid of the very numerous performance directions and indications, which often change within a few bars.
Kubelik feels himself a one with Mahler's demand that music should be recognized as a power able to bring about a transformation, a call to mankind to recognize suffering as a preliminary and indeed a prior condition, to happiness.

 PHILARMONIC: RAFAEL KUBELIK CONDUCTS SCHUMAN - New York Times
RAFAEL KUBELIK, the Czechoslovak conductor, is in town to help the New York Philharmonic open its new season, and following Wednesday's gala benefit for the orchestra's pension fund, he returned to Avery Fisher Hall last night to begin the Philharmonic's real business of the year, - its subscription concerts.
Mr Kubelik's tempos in the three faster movements were very broad, but the Funeral March held a firm pace that held it erect and kept it from drooping into the lugubrious.
Kubelik's opening subscription program with the Philharmonic will be repeated this afternoon at 2, on Saturday evening at 8 and again on Tuesday at 7:30 P.M. Home

 Rafael Kubelik - Biography - AOL Music
One of the most enduringly popular conductors to come out of Eastern Europe during the postwar era, Rafael Kubelik had the good fortune to outlive the communist Czech regime from which he exiled himself, and to return to his homeland a hero late in his career.
Kubelik's three years with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra were, at the time, a frustating period.
Additionally, at age 36, Kubelik's musical sensibilities had been shaped in the early twentieth century rather than the late nineteenth, as had been the case with his immediate predecessors--he programmed far too much modern music for the taste of critics and subscribers.

But in 1961 Kubelik finally found the safe harbor he had been searching for when he succeeded eugen Jochum as music director of the Bavarian State Radio Orchestra, a position he would hold for the next eighteen years.
Though Kubelik was at home in the sound worlds of composers as different as Handel, Schoenberg, Berlioz, Britten, Roy Harris and Karl Amadeus Hartmann, Bruckner was a relatively late addition to his enormous repertory.
Kubelik's approach is refreshingly (and characteristically) physical and direct.

Kubelik was a superlative accompanist (we can hear him waiting from time to time to the soloist).
Kubelik conducted it also with Milstein, Stern, de Vito, Rostal, Szeryng, Rabin, Edith Peinemann, and Shiokawa, a discovery in the Dvorak concerto.
Kubelik dirigea peu l'orchestre national de France, ce fut pourtant souvent une réussite, son interprétation toujours chantante et polyphonique plutôt que verticale et empesée s'accordant bien avec des orchestres français.

If there is a fault, it is minor; Kubelik slowly conducts the orchestra during the opening measures, before yielding to a faster tempo that he follows for the rest of the performance.
Rafael Kubelik (1914 - 1996) effected, in the seventies, an integral recording of the symphonies of Beethoven rather particular: he in fact conducted for the occasion 9 different orchestras, one for every symphony.
Kubelik thought that every orchestra possessed some particular qualities as far as it pertains to sound, and that such qualities would be adapted to the kind of music to perform.

 Rafael Kubelik conducts Schubert Third & Ninth Symphonies
Schubert’s tendency to have two distinct rhythms or pulses working together in the C Major produces some marvelous, contrapuntal effects; and the basses and cellos answered by the clarinet, flute and brass, introduce delicate timbres that linger well beyond the usual reverberations of a sound system.
Kubelik builds to dynamically controlled climaxes; my only quibble that he neither retards nor crescendos for the coda’s peroration after the mesmerizing and galloping riffs.
While Furtwaengler remains my idol in the Andante movement, there are striking moments in Kubelik’s account, especially the warmth of the strings after the oboe’s opening motive.

 Classical Net Review - Tchaikovsky - Symphonies #4-6
Rafael Kubelik’s recordings for EMI have received short shrift from various critics and were quite neglected for a long period time.
Kubelik lets his hair down for the Finale but there are much more preferable performances elsewhere from the likes of Maazel, Karajan and Markevitch of similar vintage.
Kubelik handles the transition in the First movement with wonderful vitality whilst his Andante is lovingly heart-on-sleeve, strikingly dissimilar to Mravinsky but no less effective.

Right from the first note of this Mahler First, you'll know Rafael Kubelik is conducting.
The luminous haze of the seven-octave A that sounds from the depths to the heights is so quintessentially Kubelik in its effortlessly, ineffably beauty.
Of course, you'll also be able to tell from the first note that this Kubelik Mahler First was recorded half a century ago at a live concert: the sound is honest but faded and the audience's coughs are occasionally audible.

This is another extremely valuable set in the rather outstanding Mercury 'Living Presence' series that brings together some great recordings from Rafael Kubelik's ill-fated sojourn in Chicago in the early 1950's.
The second disc is dedicated to Smetana's monumental portrait of the Czech homeland, 'ma Vlast' and is the first of Kubelik's four recordings.
Mussorgsky's 'Pictures' is a slightly rushed job but again, Kubelik finds nobility and grandeur especially in the monumental 'Great Gate of Kiev' that concludes the work in apocalyptic fashion.
