Paul Paray - Liszt / Wagner (1953-56) [2012]

Paul Paray conducts orchestral music from Liszt and Wagner

Electrifying performances from the Detroit Symphony recorded by Mercury, 1953-56

This release brings to a conclusion our series covering the recordings of Paul Paray with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra which Mercury Records have chosen not to reissue on CD. They are presented here in order of recording, and span the end of the mono era and the birth of commercial stereo recording.

In each case, with the exception of Wagner's Flying Dutchman Overture, these are Paray's only recordings of these works, and as such are valuable additions to the present day catalogue.
