Dyanmite performances of French Blockbusters, July 7 2008
By Johann Sebastian Bach "culture vulture" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Saint-Saens: Symphony No.3/Ibert: Escales/Franck: Symphony in D Minor (Audio CD)
These are brilliant , definitive performances of several French orches-tral works. Munch and the BSO are in top form, particularly in the Franck
and Saint-Saens symphonies (the former every bit as good as the Monteux
Chicago CD and the latter a long-established classic rendition that war-horse. I found,unlike some reviewers that the tempi in the Saint-Saens were just right and not rushed and hectic as some have said; the remain-
der of the performances are equally fine and valuable because of their
relative obscurity - I loved the Ibert Escales and the D'Indy, and the
Honegger Symphony 5 and Roussel Bacchus are also top=notch. However, I do have one complaint that has nothing to do with the seller, and that is
the cheap packaging from RCA France. Why must they insist on minmal pack-
aging with liner notes only in French that are sketchy at best and say
almost nothing about the repertoire. Surely a record company could do better than this, especially where such peerless performances are in-
volved? Still, I would not hesitate to recommend the set to anyone inte-
rested in either this repertoire or this conductor. The performances will
not disappoint.
