Roughly half of this set is strongly recommendable—and even the half that isn't is still well worth hearing. Ferenc Fricsay was a pivotal figure in the rebuilding of German musical life after the war, primarily as conductor of the Berlin RIAS (Radio In the American Sector) Symphony Orchestra, which was founded in 1946, re-named the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra in 1956 and which is now known as the Deutsches Symphony Orchestra, Berlin. Fricsay's first international triumph was in 1947 when he took over from an indisposed Otto Klemperer for the world premiere of Gottfried von Einem's opera Dantons Tod. Further triumphs are far too numerous to catalogue in this context, save to mention that the last of them—the London premiere of Kodaly's Psalmus Hungaricus on December 7th, 1961—was also Fricsay's final concert. Shortly afterwards, the cancer that had already threatened his life on numerous occasions finally claimed him, and he died in Basle on February 20th, 1963, aged just 48.
