Talk:Ferenc Fricsay

Clockwork Orange
I think that both Fricsay's and Karajan's recordings of the Ninth were featured in A Clockwork Orange. It would be great if someone could conclusively clear this up. Grover cleveland 14:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)


 * You need someone who owns Clockwork Orange in video and/or can distinguish the different interpretations easily. Unfortunately I only edited this page after having seen a similar change in the 9th page. Anyway, I endorse your request. Atavi 20:47, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It's Fricsay. In the film we catch a glimpse of Alex putting on the cassette of B9, and Fricsay's name is clearly visible. 132.147.102.127 (talk) 08:45, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

At the end of the film no mention is made of the performer of Beethoven 9, only 'Deutsche Grammophon', so either Fricsay or Karajan (but probably not both).

I'm not sure how to place this, I'm new here: The main classical announcer at KUSC radio in L.A. told me that he knew a neighbor of Fricsay's family in Hungary. Everybody there, it seems, knew that Fricsay's mother was Jewish (making Fricsay Jewish under Jewish law), and that he was known to stick up for Jewish interests at various times of his life. I have no confirming sources. D. Altschuler, Los Angeles — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.250.37.138 (talk) 22:25, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
