Bruno Walter's recording of the Siegfried Idyll with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra is radiantly beautiful–one of the most affecting of all this great conductor's statements. The horns wobble and nick a couple of notes, the ensemble isn't always perfect, and little things happen in the winds, but the sense of what the music is about–the character of the solo playing, the phrasing, and the wonderful feeling of delicacy and joy–is unmatched by anyone, except perhaps Karajan. The "cradle song" quality of the oboe solo early in the piece is captured to perfection, and the music moves along without ever being in a hurry. The end just floats away without seeming to drag or slow down at all. The accompanying overtures and preludes are wonderfully warm, vital, energetic accounts that show Walter's masterly touch and his long years of experience conducting these works in the pit. The accounts are full of felicitous details, particularly the Tannhäuser Bacchanale, which is still intoxicating almost 40 years later. These readings were brilliantly recorded (you can even hear a truck in the background at 1:45 in the Overture to The Flying Dutchman), and except for some tape hiss, they show almost no sign of age. As a bonus, Walter's rehearsal of the Siegfried Idyll is included. –Ted Libbey
