Excellent Wagner, very good Brahms.......2006-02-21

To his admirers, Guido Cantelli was the heir apparent to Toscanini, who also saw him that way, inviting the charismatic young conductor to lead his NBC Sym. many times. EMI also picked Cantelli up for studio recordings like these two, a Siegfried Idyll from 1951 and Brahms First from 1953, now reissued by Testament.

Cantelli was a disciplined, intense musician but also a bit without personality. I can't tell his Brahms First from half a dozen others in the lean Toscanini-Szell style, though the finale is surprisingly slow and without tension. The best movements are the inner two, where Cantelli displays remarkable concentration in keeping the line moving with intensity and interest. The sonics are average for the period, a bit dim and boxy. I enjoyed the Siegfired Idyll more, a work I'm not particularly fond of. Cantelli's version, again in average sound, is light and songful, with nice touches of phrasing. In all, I felt about this CD what I feel about Cantelli in general, that as wonderful as he was, the intervening years have brought us many performances as good as those he made duing his short career.

Substantial overtures from Beecham's peak period, but not in best sound.......2006-03-15

I get impatient with Beecham's fondness for snippets of music lasting less than 5 min. Here we move up to gobbets lasting about 8-12 min. This Dutton reissue consists of prewar London Phil. recordings between 1933 and 1940; as one would expect, the sound is variable. The opening Marriage of Figaro Over. from 1937 is shrill and nasty, but the next item, a Don Giovanni Over. from 1940, though cramped and not very colorful, is more listenable, and the third item, a Magtic Flute Over. from 1938, is best of all.

And so it goes through Weber, Brahms, Wagner, etc. Even after adjusting my ears, I wouldn't say that any of these recordings is a sensual pleasure, but they represent Beecham in good if not revelatory form. He avoidss the tendency prevalent in the 78 era to rush the music so that it can fit on a side--we get a realistic picture of his ideas about each work. Overall, I'd rank this colleciton somewhere in the middle of available Beecham reissues.

Abendroth's Musical Abendland.......2000-10-02

Hermann Abendroth (1883-1956), like his almost exact contemporary Wilhelm Furtwängler, mostly confined himself to the classics of the Austro-German tradition: Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Wagner, Brahms, and Bruckner, with occasional forays into Tschaikovsky, Reger, Mahler, and a few other, conservatively "modern," composers of the first half of the century. Unlike Furtwängler, who remained stubbornly in the public consciousness after his death (at the too-young age of sixty-eight) in 1954, Abendroth faded from public view, except outside East Germany, after the war and has only in the last decade been rediscovered by music-lovers. He came to renewed public attention a few years ago when Tahra released his readings of Bruckner 7 and 8 in a two-disc set, and since then a spate of his recordings, from the late 1920s up through the year of his death, has found its way into the catalogues. Most of these appear on Tahra (and are worth investigating); but Music & Arts has contributed with a two-disc set featuring Schumann 1 & 4, the Brahms Serenade in D Major, Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder, and Tschaikovsky's Rococco Variations. The sources are from former East German State Radio archives and date from 1951-56. Why bother? as the jaded might ask. Anyone interested in his first or in a new performance of, say, Schumann's Fourth will certainly do better by a modern, stereo recording. This is partly true, but only partly. The DDR tapes represent what was probably state-of-the-art in their day. They are a high-fidelity medium that give a sharp sound-picture and convey many subtleties. The absence of stereophonic sound should prove less of a disappointment than audiophiles would think. But it is the interpretation that makes these documents attractive. Abendroth infuses the two Schumann Symphonies with much elan: The beginning of the Fourth, for example, with its tympany roll and low groan in the orchestra, is made to prognosticate the beginning of the Brahms First; the Romanza is played, on the other hand, truly like one of Schumann's songs, an orchestral song-without-words. The opening of the First Symphony is again masterfully calculated and the propulsive main subject becomes a kind of roller-coaster ride. To invoke a cliche: "They just don't play it this way anymore." And that, more than anything else, is the reason for investigating Abendroth. He makes familiar music fresh because he approaches (or rather approached) it in a gutsy, subjective manner that has, alas, all but disappeared from contemporary music-making. This M&A set is a good place to start.
