Ferenc Fricsay died at the age of just 48. Although his career as a recording artist lasted barely 12 years, he is considered a legend – a conductor of both personal warmth and exacting musicality. Between 1949 and 1961, Fricsay made a wealth of records for Deutsche Grammophon. For the first time, these have been gathered together into one magnificent box set, comprising 86 CDs and a bonus DVD.
