Mozart's Gran Partita - A treasure of the wind repertoire
George Szell conducting members of the wind section from the Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall, 1969. This is a real Youtube treasure -- one of the best recordings of the best wind music ever written. There are other great recordings: Furtwanger and Berlin (I think) and Marcel Moyse (recommended by David McGill) but I prefer this one. It has everything I love about Szell conducting Mozart: precision, refinement and expression in superb classical proportions.
