5.0 out of 5 stars Performances Brimming Over with Personality and Style, Jun 28 2002
By T. Beers (Arlington, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Why should you care about mono recordings made by an almost-forgotten conductor who's been dead since 1958? Well, just listen to these Kodaly performances! Few conductors have ever matched Rodzinski in the color and excitement department. And no conductor in my experience consistently delivers such panache in the context of performances that are remarkable, overall, for their exploration of nuance and subtlety. It's really impossible to over-praise these performances, and the magnificent sound quality on this mono CD (from 1956 Westminster analog mastertapes) is a surprising bonus. Most of Rodzinski's Westminster recordings were recorded mono-only; all are now being systematically reissued by Deutsche Grammophon as CDs remastered to state-of-the-art 24Bit/96KHz specifications. Overall, the quality of DG/Westminster CDs issued so far (summer 2002) has been extraordinarily fine. But the quality of recorded sound captured on this Kodaly/Ippolitov-Ivanov CD is so good as to be almost unbelievable. Still and all, in the final analysis it's the quality of the performances that count and, as such, these CDs are a cause for celebration. Just listen and I think you'll agree that they are a "must buy" for anyone who is tired of the facelessness of today's sound-alike recordings, where Hungarian music sounds like Czech sounds like Dutch sounds like French ..... Rodzinski's Kodaly (and Ippolitov-Ivanov) performances hearken back to a day when even virtuoso, international superstar conductors had been trained (on-the-job or in conservatories) within specific traditions of performance style and sound. Rodzinski wasn't Hungarian, but his Slovenian-Croation-Polish provenance in the old Central Europe of Hapsburgs and Hohenzollerns meant he was trained to hear and feel the sounds and rhythms of Hungarian music as something unique. Russian music too. In short, these performances represent a quality of music-making that we can only hear on old records, and we thank our lucky stars when the recordings sound as good as this one! Other DG Rodzinski reissues include magnificent stereo performances of Brahms and Tchaikovsky violin concertos [with Erica Morini], a nonpareil stereo Tchaikovsky Nutcracker Ballet and Fourth Symphony, plus a stunning mono set of Dvorak's Slavonic Dances. Tchaikovsky's 5th and 6th symphonies, along with the Dvorak "New World," have just been released. So thank your lucky stars .... and buy these CDs!
