Since you mention Wright and Brody, you must not need accompanying video. I should think much of the available Szell recordings should be with Robert Marcellus. Just an amazing wind section with John Mack on oboe and Myron Bloom on french horn.

Yes, wonderful archives!
For my perspective, a terrific insight into how he felt about clarinestistry and musicianship.

There were a few marvelous oboists over that time. Al Genovese played for one season. Marc Lifschey was also there for a number of years until a conflict with Szell.
(FWIW, Marcellus told me that he thought Lifschey was the finest of them)

Ok, can you share a link to Brody on video?
As I look across past history you can see that it took sometime to establish HOW to put a large orchestra on film. The earlier attempts were more Karajan and Berlin, Boston Pops, NY Phil........Pittsburgh Symphony (a regular series with Previn). You can't really fault Szell for not jumping on that bandwagon.
