About
Andre Cluytens (1905-1967) was known for flowing elegance, fidelity to the score, and temperament without any trace of showmanship. He was the first Frenchman to conduct at Bayreuth, made the first complete recording of Beethoven's symphonies with the Berlin Philharmonic, and was also a frequent and welcome guest in Lucerne. In 1954, he met the young Igor Oistrakh and earned standing ovations with Khachaturian's brilliant Violin Concerto and Franck's Symphony in D minor.
Critic reviews
“The Violin Concerto contains such rich melodies, such evocative music, so many virtuosic and so many lyrical passages that the ear cannot help but delight in it, especially when it is played as superbly and with such a keen sense of colour as it is here.”
