- Four great masters; four great masterpieces; 79'55" of inspired music-making
- a "must-have" CD. There have been many requests for Kubelik's spectacular
performance of Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphoses. Fans are sure to agree
it was worth waiting for. Note for audiophiles: check out the second movement,
Turandot, a perfect demo track and test for your equipment. Schoenberg's highly
expressive Fünf Orchesterstücke also receive an inspired and dynamic
interpretation under Kubelik's baton.
