Composer:
Matthew Locke

Conductor:
Istvan Kertesz

Background: István Kertész (1929-1973) was another conductor with an outstanding future who died prematurely aged 43 while swimming on holiday in Israel. He was music director of the LSO and continuously in demand with all the major orchestras - Berlin Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Cleveland Symphony and Philadelphia Orchestra.

The short Locke opened the Royal Festival Hall programme containing the Brahms Symphony No.2 on 15 February 1966. It is a new addition to Kertész’s discography and is given a lean and dynamic performance, again caught live in the Royal Festival Hall.

The Brahms Symphony No.2 was recorded by Decca with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1964, but only released in 1966 around the time of this Royal Festival Hall performance. However, the live recording here in London's Royal Festival Hall is exceptionally exciting and well recorded in stereo.<.p>
