[ Decca / 5 CD ]
Release Date: Monday 11 July 2005
"For those who only know Szell's work with the Cleveland Orchestra, this is an interesting set. However, it does gather (excepting the mono Brahms and Dvořák) Szell's most available non-Cleveland recordings. If you have these already, it's mainly old news. I wish they could have included some of his rarer live recordings with these orchestras, but that may have come down to a matter of copyright. Still, the only turkey is the Mozart. The rest rocks.
