Beethoven: Violin Concerto; Lalo Symphonie Espagnole

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Despite some bowing quirks, Bronislaw Huberman was a great virtuoso, universally admired in the 1920s and 1930s for his transcendental interpretations. A reputation as a "difficult" artist kept him from recording often, but here, with George Szell and an inspired Vienna Philharmonic, he's galvanized to produce among the best performances ever made of these frequently recorded works. In the Beethoven, Huberman reveals the granitic strength of the score, varying his tone from silky smoothness to craggy rawness. The Larghetto illustrates his searching style, its slowly unfolding intensity heightened by Huberman's yearning tone and heartfelt phrasing. The Lalo inhabits a very different world, captured with dash and drama. Bryan Crimp's transfers of the 1934 recordings are first-rate. --Dan Davis

4 out of 5 stars Mostly Magnificent Menuhin, with a Few Reservations.......2004-01-06

The recent trend toward classical box sets focusing on the performer instead of the composer (see my reviews of the various DG/Decca "Original Masters" sets) continues with EMI's new "Yehudi Menuhin - The Violinist." Sure EMI's past sets have showcased individual performances by Samson Francois, Eugen Jochum and Rudolf Kempe to name a few, but it was always under the heading of a given composer's works, and in the cases mentioned above, to Chopin's piano pieces, Bruckner's Symphonies and Strauss' Orchestral Works respectively. Therefore, this Menuhin collection is the first of EMI's "Budget Box Sets" to showcase a performer playing the works of a variety of composers.

As Menuhin was an EMI recording artist for an incredible 68 years (1931-99), his performances for the label number in the hundreds. With so much music from which to choose, this 10-disc set aims "to highlight some of those alternative versions, including recordings that have not been easily available since the days of LP and others that have never previously appeared on CD." Therefore, the obvious mainstream, easily attainable recordings are omitted here -- for example, the Beethoven/Mendelssohn VCs with Furtwangler, the Elgar VC with the composer conducting, and the Bruch/Mendelssohn VCs with Susskind and Kurtz.

However, a lot of this material has been on disc before on titles which the serious collector most likely already owns. Most of the Bach is currently available as part of the Bach "Budget Box Series" title. The Bruch, Mendelssohn, Brahms and Vivaldi VCs were all available in the now out-of-print 2CD EMI Seraphim series. The Elgar and the Walton are still available in the "British Composers" series. And perhaps most annoyingly, the previously unpublished Beethoven VC and Tchaikovsky "Serenade melancolique" (available as a single disc), and the Beethoven Romance No. 2 (available on an EMI Encore title) were both reissued just a few months back.

But let's focus on the positive, which are the other rare performances, the most significant being the never before reissued 1954 performance of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 4 with John Pritchard and the Philharmonia. Other elusive recordings include Viuextemps and Paganini VCs with Fistoulari, Lalo and Saint-Saens works with Goossens, and excellent Berg and Bartok accounts with Boulez. Though I'm delighted at their inclusion, of lesser importance is a 1965 Bartok VC No. 2 with Dorati -- his mono EMI with Furtwangler and an earlier account with Dorati on Mercury Living Presence are far superior. Also, neither the Sibelius (Boult, 1955) nor Nielsen (Woldike, 1952) Concertos are truly Menuhin's cups of tea.

My last complaint has to do with the packaging. I know I'm being rather trite but it seems that EMI has taken the "slim" out of slim, paper-sleeved box sets with their latest batch of releases. Both this title and the new box of Liszt Orchestral Works by Masur are noticeably thicker than previous EMI sets featuring a similar number of discs. A minor point, but us serious classical collectors need every centimeter of space on our increasingly crowded CD shelves, not to mention the amount of wasted packaging.

Overall though, despite the fact that "Yehudi Menuhin - The Violinist" is not as essential a reissue as its counterparts in the "Original Masters" series, it is a delightful set that most collectors will thoroughly enjoy.

          5 out of 5 stars Brilliant Recordings Rescued From The Vaults.......2003-06-04

          Now that Decca and Deutsche Grammophon, among others, are all part of Universal, we have seen some interesting things happen, and not all of them bad. What I'm referring to in this case is the new "Original Masters" Limited Edition Box Set series. Finally, the classical music world has taken a page out of the jazz reissue handbook -- put out a quality product featuring rare recordings but make its availability limited, and people will snatch it up. In the "Original Masters" series, first DG and now Decca have each reissued five box sets, of 4 to 7 CDs each, in distinguished, space-saving slim paper boxes, though the style of packaging is different. The DG sets feature 50s style graphics design on their covers, while the Decca ones have a distinctive rainbow/spectrum pattern on the spines and banners, and a black-and-white photo of the artist in question on the face of the box.

          This particular set features the great conductor Eduard van Beinum's Decca recordings from 1948-53. As the track information is non-existent above, I will try to be of assistance. The first disc contains Beethoven's "Creatures of Prometheus" with the London Philharmonic (LPO) from 1952, and Brahms' 1st Symphony with the Concertgebouw (RCO) from 1951. Disc two is all Berlioz with the Concertgebouw from '51 & '52 -- "Symphonie Fantastique," "Le Carnival Romain" Overture and three extracts from "La Damnation de Faust." Disc three begins with Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra" (RCO, 1948) and then sees Beinum conducting less standard fare with Willem Pijper's "Symphony No. 3" with Clifford Curzon joining in on piano obbligato (RCO, 1953), and Incidental Music from Alphons Diepenbrock's "Marysas (La Source Enchantee)." CD Four returns to the standard repertoire with Mozart's "Haffner" Symphony (LPO, 1950), Schubert's "Die Zauberharfe" (or Rosamunde) Overture and "Tragic" Symphony (both RCO, 1952), and Mendelssohn's Overture and Incidental Music to "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (RCO, 1952). The final disc concludes with four Rossini Overtures (RCO, 1952) -- "William Tell," "La Scala," "Semiramide" and "La Gazza Ladra"-- and Lalo's "Symphonie Espagnole" (LPO, 1953). Despite the fact that all of these recordings are in mono, the first rate performances more than compensate for any audio shortcomings. Well, I guess the consolidation of the music industry isn't so bad after all, as long as I can look forward to more reissues like this.

            The inimitable Heifetz recorded other versions of these works, but it's hard to understand why this set remained unpublished. Perhaps minor blemishes, such as the slight tonal roughness at the start of Beethoven's G Major Romance and the shrill engineering of the Chausson Poème, consigned them to the storage vaults. Now that we can hear them, though, they can't fail to satisfy, especially since they're sufficiently different from the published recordings to fascinate connoisseurs. The Beethoven Romances, for example, are more flexible with the Philharmonia than in the later American recording. And the Lalo Symphonie espagnole, missing its Intermezzo in keeping with the custom of the time, is also more relaxed than Heifetz's American version. The Chausson is gorgeous as well, benefiting from Monteux's stylish accompaniment. It dates from 1945 and sounds it, but the others, from 1950, come up fresh and vibrant, with Heifetz's golden tone intact. --Dan Davis
