Liszt: A Faust Symphony, S108, etc.
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Philharmonis Orchestra, Sir Thomas Beecham & Constantin Silvestri
Bright, forceful playing from the Philharmonia, and from the RPO a wonderful Faust Symphony. Midgley's sweet tenor and the chorus are rather recessed in the Psalm - a small price to pay. —
