Yevgeny Svetlanov: Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky & Prokofiev
The great Yevgeny Svetlanov frequently conducted Debussy. His interpretation of Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune in the Philharmonia concert recorded here in 2001 has an almost operatically vocal style, coupled with spacious tempo. Svetlanov's conducting of Respighi’s orchestration of two of Rachmaninov’s Etudes-Tableaux, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra in October 1999, is typically atmospheric in the first tableaux – La Mer et les Mouettes (The Sea and the Gulls) following Debussy’s La Mer, while the second, La Foire (The Fair) demonstrates the conductor’s wonderful ear for colour. Prokofiev’s Overture on Hebrew Themes was composed for sextet in 1919 while in the USA, but was re-scored for orchestra in 1934. Svetlanov’s concert with the LSO from October 1979 is a rarity since his only recording dates back to an early Melodiya account.Buy | Stream | Download -

Pierre Monteux (Richard Itter Collection)
MP3 Album:The great French conductor Pierre Monteux (1875-1964) was naturally considered a specialist of his native country’s music, though he would never allow this to restrict him. This new set of previously unpublished recordings seeks to set the record straight, with a strong representation of German repertoire, notably Brahms’ Symphony No.3 with the Boston Symphony, which he never recorded commercially, in a rare ‘live’ performance from the 1956 Edinburgh Festival. More Brahms featuring two celebrated virtuosos – the Violin Concerto with the French violinist Zino Francescatti, and the Double Concerto where he is joined by his compatriot Pierre Fournier, both ‘live’ recordings from the Royal Festival Hall in 1955. Both are previously unpublished.Buy | Stream | Download -
