ADOLF
BUSCH PLAYS BRAHMS
CD-1107(1)
A recently discovered passionate and expressive live recording by the then 52-year-old German master who made very few concerto recordings, conducted by his old school-mate Steinberg. With a fine live performance of the Clarinet Quintet from a Town Hall concert in New York, at which Reginald Kell made his U.S. debut.
