Guido Cantelli:The Debussy Recordings
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
There may be more atmospheric and individualized versions of these works in the catalog, but few that merge refinement of sonority, fidelity to the score, proportion, and impeccable taste to the degree that Guido Cantelli achieves here. EMI's early fifties mono engineering needs no disclaimer. One of the truly great orchestral recordings of all time. --Jed Distler

More Classic Cantelli.......2004-01-07
Had Guido Cantelli not died in an airplane crash in 1956 at the tender age of 36, he would undoubtedly be known today as one of the world's most famous conductors. As is, collectors regard him as one of the greatest conductors of the 20th Century, and these vintage EMI recordings, reissued by the Testament label, show why. "The Debussy Recordings" collects all of Cantelli's late mono performances of the composer's works with the Philharmonia Orchestra -- two of the three "Nocturnes" ("Nuages" and "Fetes," 8/55), "Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune" (6/54), the Fragments symphoniques from "Le Martyre de Saint-Sebastien" (6/54) and "La Mer" (9/55). Cantelli made a surprisingly large number of recordings for EMI in the early 1950s and most of them have been reissued at some point on CD (by both EMI and Testament), yet many of them are now out-of-print. Classical fans curious about Cantelli's considerable skills should pick up this title before it suffers a similar fate.
