Notes
The two stereo Beethoven cycles, those of the Symphonies (1965-70) and the Piano Concertos (with Wilhelm Backhaus, 1958-59), form the core of this edition of the complete Decca recordings of Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt (1900-1973). It is distinguished by the Wiener Philharmoniker's unique transparency of sound allied to a firm pulse and rhythmic drive which characterized Schmidt-Isserstedt's conducting. Several of the recordings were produced by Erik Smith, the conductor's son. Though it appears that he never stood in front of the Vienna Philharmonic in a concert, Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt achieved a remarkable rapport with a famously headstrong group of musicians when he conducted them in two stereo Beethoven cycles for Decca. In 1958-59 they recorded the piano concertos with Wilhelm Backhaus, as a stereo remake for the pianist's mono Decca cycle with the Vienna Philharmonic and Clemens Krauss. Backhaus was in his late 70s by then, conveying a lifetime's wisdom through his fingers while playing with apparently undimmed vitality. The Decca producer for the concertos was the conductor's son, Erik Smith, and a familial sense of mutual respect and understanding may be one reason for the success of the symphony cycle made between 1965 and 1970. Schmidt-Isserstedt harnesses the unique transparency of the Vienna Philharmonic sound with the firm pulse and rhythmic drive which had always distinguished his conducting. The set has rarely left the catalogue since it was issued, because it's virtues have never gone out of fashion. Schmidt-Isserstedt's first recordings for Decca were made in the early 1950s, as founder-conductor of Hamburg Radio Symphony Orchestra, now known as the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra. The ensemble began life after the war as a cultural project nurtured and supported by the British, and under Schmidt-Isserstedt's dedicated coaching it quickly became one of the most admired orchestras Europe. Their recordings of Dvorák's Seventh and Tchaikovsky's Fifth symphonies were made in state-of-the-art Decca mono sound, produced by John Culshaw. As the reputation of the NDR orchestra spread internationally during the 1960s, so did that of it's conductor, who became a welcome and familiar presence in front of the London orchestras. He exerts gentle and sovereign authority over the London Symphony Orchestra on a 1967 album of Mozart concertos in partnership with Vladimir Ashkenazy. This Eloquence set is issued with original covers and a new essay by Peter Quantrill on Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt and his Decca legacy.

    I believe the seller had the item drop shipped. It was not sent with any padding and the box suffered some slight damage. I contacted the seller about the issue. It took a day or 2 before reply-but they did offer me a discount or to return package. I was happy they replied and were receptive to doing something to correct the problem. I decided on the the discount they offered to avoid the trouble of the return.

    The item was listed "Limited Edition 4k Blu-ray", but I received the standard 4K Blu-ray edition. Regardless, it is brand new and sealed, and the seller offered me a small refund as a gesture of good faith, and professional courtesy. The shipping was also super fast. Pleasure doing business with.

    ImportCDs is a great seller. I ordered the Contagion 4k steelbook from them, it arrived from Oz to Canada, but was unfortunately the wrong version, regular instead of steelbook. They were very quick with their response and issued me a refund. I've used them several times in the past and will continue to buy from them based on my great experience with their CS. Thanks!
