Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Marek Janowski “In the wrong hands both the Franck Symphony and its younger brother by Chausson can sound stiffjointed. Not here. Marek Janowski draws on all his operatic experience to make the melodic lines live and sing. Everything has shape and colour, but these frequent dark undertows are never allowed to wallow in sentimentality. Best of all is the way Janowski responds to the variety of harmonic tension in both works: the more chromatic a chord, the more space he tends to give it without ever obstructing the flow… they make a tremendous impact when required, balanced by warm-toned pianissimos. I have no doubt that the power and refinement of this recording should bring it a wide audience.” Roger Nichols (BBC Music Magazine Orchestral Choice Jan-07)  BBC Music Magazine

 | Leopold StokowskiRecording: The Doelen, Rotterdam, 22 August 1970
Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, Leopold Stokowski Despite Leopold Stokowski's (1882-1977) huge discography and having conducted the first American performance in 1943, he never recorded Prokofiev's cantata 'Alexander Nevsky', based on Eisenstein's film. This is of major importance for collectors. This is the first official release of the entire 1970 live concert in the Doelen in Rotterdam. Stokowski recorded Ravel's Fanfare pour L'Eventail de Jeanne' and Franck's Symphony in D minor immediately after the concerts for Decca Phase 4 but the live performances have more tension and presence and the Doelen's excellent acoustic has been well captured by the Dutch engineers. All three works are played 'straight' without any embellishments by the conductor. The original master tape supplied by the Dutch broadcaster AVRO in Hilversum was used for the entire 1970 concert which was recorded in excellent stereo sound. The remastering engineer, Paschal Byrne, who has been responsible for all the Leopold Stokowski Society releases on Cala Records, has done a wonderful job to improve the sound. |
