Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 5 `Reformation`, Munch & BSO (1957) メンデルスゾーン 交響曲第5番宗教改革 ミュンシュ 

This is a wonderful performance of one of my favorite pieces. The winds play magnificently -- and the flutist, whom we hear so prominently in the fourth movement, is Doriot Anthony Dwyer, who appears to have been the second woman to hold a principal chair in a major U.S. orchestra. She held that position from 1952 to 1990.

A magnificent recording by Munch and Boston, a classic just like their brilliant recording of Mendelssohn's 3rd as well.

Felix Mendelssohn:5.D-dúr ,,Reformáció" Szimfónia Op.107 1.Andante - Allegro con fuoco 00:05 2.Allegro vivace 10:48 3.Andante 15:00 4.Korál: Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott (Erős vár a mi istenünk): Andante con moto - Allegro vivace - Allegro maestoso 18:24 Bostoni Filharmonikus Zenekar Vezényel:Charles Munch

Recorded on October 28, 1957, in Symphony Hall, Boston, this record was originally issued in 1958 as RCA Living Stereo LSC-2221. Four-time Grammy winner (and John Pfeiffer's star engineer - the father of "Living Stereo") Lewis W. Layton made the recording; five-time Grammy winner Richard Mohr produced it. Having listened to the "Reformation" for over fifty years, by recording and in-concert, this remains my "desert island" performance. It has often been said that there is no such thing as perfection; this recording is an exception that proves the rule. Thank you for posting this excellent transfer of a true classic.

This remains for me one of the finest performances and recordings of anything I know. Maestro Munch and his Bostonians were inspired the day this was recorded, and oh, those Symphony Hall acoustics!

この曲の古典的名盤をようやく聴けた。ありがとうございます。

I really love the playing of the woodwinds in this movement: 10:48 But wonderful playing all-around.

One of the best performances of this symphony ever recorded. Superb.

Magnificent👏
