About

Hungarian conductor István Kertész (1929-1973) succeeded Pierre Monteux as Music Director of the London Symphony Orchestra and established a major reputation with the orchestra with many fine commercial studio recordings.

This live stereo performance of Bruckner's Symphony No.4 on 13 March 1964 first appeared on BBC Radio Classics in 1995 with no fill-up. BBC Legends have completely remastered the sound of the Bruckner from the original master tapes. It should be noted that Kertész was a life long admirer of Bruno Walter, whose performances of Bruckner influenced his interpretation of the Austrian composer.

BBC Legends have also added Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis which Kertész never recorded. It is also in stereo, dating from 1966.

Bruckner: Symphony No.4
