Metamorphosis: The Transformation of the Bournemouth Symphony

This documentary tells the story of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s rise to international acclaim while under the baton of Maestro Constantin Silvestri. Ray Carpenter (1922-2017), the symphony's principal clarinet, shares his memories along with historic materials—photographs, excerpts of musical recordings, newspaper clippings, and programs. Ray provides insight into his own musical coming-of-age as well as musical life during the Silvestri (1961-1969) years. Despite his short tenure with the symphony, Maestro Silvestri managed to transform a provincial band to an orchestra whose performances were praised in and beyond London.

Silvestri (sadly underrated) and the Philharmonia at their peak. Superb Kingsway Hall sound.

Easily as good or better than the other uploads of this recording I've heard. Thanks, Glen.
