NEW: Beecham in Seattle - previously unheard live recordings LAST WEEK: Part one of one of the greatest Ring cycles ever
Toscanini's Verdi Requiem Toscanini's Verdi Requiem

Sir Thomas Beecham was without a doubt one of the most influential and charismatic conductors of the 20th century. He made numerous recordings throughout his career - but there was a gap:

"Beecham left Britain in the spring of 1940, later explaining, "I was informed there was an emergency, so I emerged." Beecham went to Australia and then to North America. He became music director of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra in 1941..."

Beecham's time in Seattle coincided with a recording ban in the US imposed by the unions. Thus until now there have been no recordings released from this collaboration.

Pristine Classical is delighted therefore to offer this, the first of three volumes of Beecham in Seattle - and it's a corker, centred around a splendid Enigma Variations with further works by Wagner and Delius.

Your thoughts on this release during its first week of issue:

"Yesterday I downloaded your XR remastering of Das Rheingold. What a superb job you have done with it. I own the Krauss Ring on Archipel, but what an astonishing improvement the Pristine version means. I just would let you know, since I am so enthusiastic about it."

"Congratulations! It's really great compared to the recent CD reincarnation.  Looking forward to the other three..."

"...a glorious unfolding of magnificently balanced sound. I can't believe that I am listening to a historical recording. Congratulations. You are rescuing a quite miraculous performance..."

"The whole is more "alive" and "electric"  - very much in your face - the voices are up front which in Hotter's case esp. is a great asset...."
