Mahler Kindertotenlieder, Etc; Wagner – Flagstad, Et Al

View attachment 182569

Release Date: 02/12/2002
Label: London/Decca Legends Catalog #: 468486 Spars Code: ADD
Composer: Gustav Mahler, Richard Wagner
Performer: Kirsten Flagstad
Conductor: Sir Adrian Boult, Hans Knappertsbusch
Orchestra/Ensemble: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
Number of Discs: 1
Recorded in: Stereo
Length: 1 Hours 20 Mins.

"For anyone who already owns the Songs of a Wayfarer (which was originally coupled with this recording on a 12-inch LP) in some other version, Fischer-Dieskau's perhaps, this new disc at just under a pound is splendid value. Today, we weigh Flagstad's interpretation against Ferrier's and Fischer-Dieskau's, but the day will come, I feel sure, when collectors will want to own everything she recorded, just for the sake of her voice. That glorious voice is heard here in a very fine recording, and Sir Adrian and the Vienna Philharmonic form a happy combination. And in any case, Flagstad sings these particular songs most beautifully; Lieder on this scale finds in her a fine and sensitive interpreter. Incredible that she was 62 at the time." - Gramophone [3/1960, reviewing the LP release of the Mahler selections]

Dvorák Requiem, Kodály Psalmus Hungaricus

View attachment 182570

Release Date: 02/12/2002
Label: London/Decca Legends Catalog #: 468487 Spars Code: ADD
Composer: Antonín Dvorák, Zoltán Kodály
Performer: Erzsébet Komlossy, Robert Ilosfalvy, Tom Krause, Pilar Lorengar, ...
Conductor: István Kertész
Orchestra/Ensemble: London Symphony Orchestra, Ambrosian Singers, Brighton Festival Chorus, ...
Number of Discs: 2
Recorded in: Stereo
Length: 2 Hours 22 Mins.

"Oh joy. Another reissue of a reissue of a reissue. Decca's previous release of the Dvorák Requiem included his Mass in D, while the Kodály last appeared on Kertész's complete Háry János (both twofers). This newcomer reveals the pitfalls of a witless application of technology absent a careful ear guiding the process. There's very little difference between this reissue and the last, save that the sound has acquired a harshness and glare, a "processed" quality, that it has lacked hitherto. The higher recording level and emphasis on such ephemera as throbbing organ pedals in the "Dies Irae" point to an attempt to create a "hi fi" extravaganza at the expense of more important musical values. The performance of the Requiem is a very good one, but still not the equal of Ancerl's on Supraphon with a better lineup of soloists (including Maria Stader and the young Ernst Haefliger), far more natural, better balanced, spacious recorded sound, the wonderful timbres of the Czech Philharmonic, and a chorus that roundly outshines the Ambrosian Singers. This Psalmus hungaricus also numbers among the finest recordings of the piece, but again this unimpressive "96kHz 24-bit Super DIGITAL Transfer" offers little more than a not-so-super way to part you from your hard-earned money. If you already own any of the previous issues of these performances, no need to pay any attention to this one. If not, it's a decent buy, but it doesn't sound as good as it used to, and there's no excuse for that. " - David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com

Sibelius Symphony No 5, Karelia Suite – Gibson, Lso

View attachment 182571

Jean Sibelius:
Symphony #5
Karelia Suite
Camille Saint-Saëns: Danse Macabre
Engelbert Humperdinck: Hansel and Gretel: Witches Ride
Franz Liszt: Mephisto Waltz #1
Modest Mussorgsky: Night on the Bare Mountain

London Symphony Orchestra/Alexander Gibson
New Symphony Orchestra of London/Alexander Gibson
Decca Legends 468488-2 78m ADD

"Gibson's Sibelius recordings have been a staple part of the early Chandos catalogue and his even earlier 1959 recording of the Fifth and Karelia show a conductor on true top form. This is great playing from the London Symphony with an exemplary Decca recording revealing the wide ranging view of Gibson's conducting that has a particular emphasis on the string section. The noble Allegro molto is superbly paced here with almost as much panache as Karajan's contemporaneous Philharmonia recording for EMI.

The Karelia Suite is another excellent recording to add to the multifarious ones available. I also hugely enjoyed the additional items available, excerpts from an old 1957 LP with the NSOL. Saint-Saëns' 'Danse Macabre' is full of zest and life whilst the aptly titled 'Witches Ride' from Humperdinck's 'Hansel and Gretel ' reveals some astonishing vintage Decca sound. Liszt's 'Mephisto Waltz' and Mussorgsky's wonderful 'Night on the Bare Mountain' could almost be by Stokowski with their hair-raising intensity.

The recordings are a gem of their age and an indispensable essay on the almost neglected Alexander Gibson sums up a most satisfying issue."

Prokofiev Piano Sonatas 7 & 8, Etc; Liszt – Ashkenazy

View attachment 182591

Release Date: 07/11/2001
Label: London/Decca Legends Catalog #: 468497 Spars Code: ADD
Composer: Sergei Prokofiev, Franz Liszt
Performer: Vladimir Ashkenazy
Number of Discs: 1
Recorded in: Stereo
Length: 1 Hours 12 Mins.

Given his sympathy for this repertoire, it's surprising Ashkenazy didn't explore more of Prokofiev's solo works on disc. The same holds true for the pianist's commanding, idiomatic, and intelligently virtuosic Liszt playing.
