The industrial centers around Lake Michigan were at the heart of the North American economy. In Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, the cultural institutions, especially the symphony orchestras, profited from the wealth of the region. In Detroit, the world's largest center of the auto industry, Paray was to bring the local orchestra to the highest level. The exceptional way in which he succeeded in doing just that, makes the ten CDs of this documentation a very special listening experience. Paray, who led the orchestra until 1963, after which he returned to Europe, was aided in this by an outstanding recording technique that has set benchmarks until today. It also was to benefit lesser known works and composers from 19th and early 20th century France, which Paray included in his programs. His sensitive handling of the music of German romanticism is also clearly recognizable in the complete recordings of the Schumann symphonies, which form the conclusion of this 10-CD box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParay's musical journey began in Rouen, in the boy's choir of the cathedral, and on the\u003cbr\u003eorgan there, on which he began to improvise as a boy. After his studies at the Paris\u003cbr\u003eConservatory, he was awarded the 1st Grand Rome Prize in 1911. This was followed by\u003cbr\u003edirecting the orchestras Lamoureux and Concerts Colonne and conducting at the Paris\u003cbr\u003eOpera. A highlight in the life of the composer Paul Paray was his Mass for Joan of Arc,\u003cbr\u003ewhich was performed in Detroit on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of her death in 1956.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/officialTRACKLISTINGWITHWORLD_ef3867fa-2429-44fd-acd4-158b72d210f4_480x480.png?v=1678393484\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD 1\u003cbr\u003e■ Hector Berlioz (1803 – 1869)\u003cbr\u003eSYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE, Op. 14\u003cbr\u003eEpisode de la vie d’un artiste\u003cbr\u003e1.
