This set represents Rafael Kubelík’s two live performances with the Concertgebouw-Orchestra Amsterdam and RSO Frankfurt, taped in Frankfurt, Germany from 1959 to 1960. Kubelík was at home in the sound worlds of composers as different as Bruckner, Bartók, Mozart and Hindemith, presented at this release for the first time ever.
