The Worst Sound Quality On a Disc!.......2003-11-19

No! This is not the greatest Firebird on a disc! The conductor is so unknown, I thought this was a Herbert Von Karajan student or even an Alexander rahbari student conducting but it isn't. This is some guy I've never heard of named Dmitry Kitajenko. Ignore the reviews the other 2 Josh Rappaports wrote. I get bored with the slow pacing. Take either Stravinsky's own recording with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, Kent Nagano's recording with the London Symphony Orchestra, or Pierre Boulez's recording with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. This is one sedated recording. The only piece I like here is Le Chant du Rossignol! That's the piece which saves the disc from bad sound quality

This Can't Be a Rahbari Student Conducting Stravinsky.......2003-11-15

Could I be dreaming or is this one of those excellent Firebirds conducted by a non-name-brand person. This Dmitri Kitajanko must've studied with the naxos conductor, Alexander Rahbari when he was a conducting student. His conducting often does reminds me of Alexander Rahbari's conducting. I agree with the other reviewer (the one who has the same name as I do). Like Alexander Rahbari, Dmitri Kitajenko conducts one of the most beautiful Firebirds ever! This is a cut from the rest, even though nobody's ever heard of this conductor, Dmitri Kitajenko and neither has anybody heard of the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. This is the only Firebird recording that I'd compare with the Alexander Rahbari recording on the naxos label. Chandos is on the same level as Naxos is here on these Stravinsky recordings. This is what I call the rediscovery of the final piece of music in Fantasia 2000, only even better than that and far more slower (maybe at times even slower than Kitajenko's recording of the 1919 Version of the Firebird Suite at certain places). If anybody wants Stravinsky's The firebird, this recording would be it.

Very Similar to the Naxos recording with Alexander Rahbari.......2003-11-12

Unlike any of the other Stravinsky Firebirds I've heard before, this recording with the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and Dmitry Kitajenko could compare to the Naxos recording of the suite from the ballet with the BRT Philharmonic Orchestra and Alexander Rahbari conducting. If I look at the track listing, the Princess Rounds would be clocked to 7:30 minutes, a minute longer than the naxos recording of it which is 6:28 minutes. The introduction is probably close to 4:00 minutes, much longer than the naxos recording:2:57. King Kashchei's Dance would be clocked to 4:46 minutes, twice as much as the naxos recording. The finale is probably 4:10 minutes long, beating the Rahbari recording one minute. That recording is 3:27 minutes long. This recording of the Stravinsky ballet, The Firebird clocks to about 53:45 minutes, I think. Like Alexander Rahbari's recording on the naxos label, this recording is one of the most beautiful Firebird recordings I ever heard. The sound quality is the only thing that is average on this recording, sometimes it's quiet and sometimes it's loud.

The Slowest Rendition of The Firebird Yet........2003-03-16

I do not own this CD nor have I ever heard it, but this one, if I will ever hear it would be a poorly done rendition of both these works: Stravinsky's Le Chant du Rossignol and The Firebird.
All I've heard of this CD is of the timing of The Firebird Dmitry Kitajenko puts the orchestra to close to 53 minutes, though it should be close to 48 to 49 minutes. I still would love to buy this CD someday even if it is a kind-of-poorly done rendition of The firebird. I'd feel it like a rollercoaster if I heard this so-so rendition. I love slow-paced recordings and this one is the one that I'd like to buy if I saw it. I don't really know Le Chant du Rossignol all that well and that's why I'm not writing about that piece.

Delius in Sunset Hues.......2002-01-16

Frederick "Fritz" Delius (1862-1934) embodied the late-Nineteenth Century idea of the "aristocratic radical": true to his own impulses, scornful of custom and commerce, agnostic in religion and liberal in amorous affairs, he was also an esthete of the most refined sensibility who struggled to express his sense of a beautiful and sometimes tragic world in his art. Like the nature-poet Wordsworth, Delius worked within an esthetic of the epiphany: in the midst of the loud world, he finds a quiet place ("Summer Night on the River" or "The High Hills") and sets the preparatory mood; briefly but powerfully, a vision of poignant beauty emerges, in the appearance and passing of which the witness and participant finds his own moment of transfiguration. All of Delius' characteristic works represent the organic blossoming-forth and swift withdrawal of some gorgeous but evanescent phenomenon, as in his set of orchestral variations on the Yorkshire folk tune "Brigg Fair." The tune seems to emerge from hints and prognostications, the way a river or stream emerges - inconspicuously - from rills and sources in the high ground, until, after a magnificent but brief minor-key apotheosis in the full orchestra, it melts away again into the quiet texture of things. In "Tommy" (later Sir Thomas) Beecham, fortune blessed Delius with an interpreter whose essentially Pagan convictions matched his own, and who not only played his friend's music frequently in concert but began recording it in the mid-1920s, just after the introduction of electrical recording. Beecham belonged in part to the milieu of Edwardian estheticism, but unlike the followers of Ruskin and Pater he understood the relation of technics to the preservation and dissemination of art. The Delius Festival (Beecham organized two, in 1929 and again in 1946) could reach a few thousand people; recorded albums of the Delius scores, on the other hand, might reach tens of thousands. Some of these recordings went into commercial release; others, for a variety of reasons, remained in the archives. Recently Naxos released three discs of early Delius-Beecham collaborations in its historical series. Now Somm, a British label, has produced two discs of similar, sometimes overlapping, material, all of it exquisite and much of it previously unheard outside the Delius-Beecham circle. In October 1934, for example, on the occasion of the Leeds Festival, Beecham took care that his performance of the choral-orchestral "Songs of Sunset" (1911, with texts by Ernest Dowson) be recorded. This performance (supplemented by a 1946 "take" of the final song) forms the centerpiece of the program on Somm-Beecham 08, sharing the disc with a 1934 performance of "An Arabesk" (1911, with text by Jens-Peter Jacobsen) and a generous selection of songs, about half of them with orchestral accompaniment; there is also the orchestral Prelude to "A Mass of Life," Part II. The choral singing is captured with remarkable clarity, much of it being comprehensible. In his book about Delius (1946), Beecham insisted "that in no circumstances should a large number of voices be employed" for this work, as "fifty or sixty at most are enough; otherwise the extremely personal harmonic sequences tend to be muddied or blurred." The Leeds performance seems to obey the dictum. In Olga Haley, moreover, Beecham finds a mezzo solo of the requisite "voluptuous quality" who "can cope with the rich middle register of the music," while in Roy Henderson he has a baritone capable of smoothly negotiating the "vocal angularities" of some of the movements. ("Notably in 'By the Sad waters of Separation.'") The third movement, "Pale Amber Sunlight," is especially entrancing - "a truly Delian product," as Beecham writes; the woodwind parts of the orchestral accompaniment come through with much warmth. To "An Arabesk," as to "Songs of Sunset," Beecham likewise imparts an intimate feeling. The poem of "An Arabesk" is actually quite disturbing, mixing love and sacrifice (or is it murder?) in an idyllic setting. Gary Moore's transfers from the archival sources work wonders, especially with "Songs of Sunset," not previously released in any form, the recording conditions of which must have been difficult. There is occasional congestion at the climaxes where the chorus is involved but in the main the acoustic reconstruction in both "Songs of Sunset" and "An Arabesk" is a marvel. The same may be said for the songs with orchestra, recorded in February 1938. Beecham would record these again in 1947, and the result can be canvassed on a Dutton CD. This Somm-Beecham CD is a fine production, invaluable for its "Songs of Sunset," and should be acquired swiftly by Delians.

Many first ever issues of Beecham conducting Delius........2001-12-26

More than half of the music included in this estimable CD derive from hitherto unissued recordings made at the 1934 Leeds Festival. In very acceptable sound, with a balance that favours the soloists Roy Henderson and Olga Haley, the principal works are "An Arabesque", and "Song of Sunset". Collectors have wondered about the elusive "Song of Sunset" recording for many years. Two subsequent attempts by Beecham to record this work are said to have dissatisfied him. Requests and searches for playable test copies of this 1934 Leeds Festival recording produced nothing until now. Here, from Beecham's own archives of test pressings, made available by Shirley, Lady Beecham, are heard all but the last few minutes of the 1934 performance. The missing part is provided from a 1946 recording. I understand that the missing part of the 1934 performance has since been located in the British Museum.

Also included here are all the recordings of Delius songs Beecham made, accompanying the soprano Dora Labbette. The singing of this fine English soprano was not only wonderfully pure, ethereal and graceful, it also clearly conveyed the songs' texts. Happily, it recorded well, although the singer was required to turn her head away from the microphone when taking a high, loud note - as can be heard several times in "Twilight Fancies".

The less said about the only orchestral item included, the better. Apparently 1938 recording techniques and venues were not kind to the special sonorities Delius created in the orchestration of his "A Mass of Life" prelude. The blurred, nebulous sound heard here produces no effect other than puzzlement.

Hamelin is such a fascinating pianist that almost anything he plays is automatically interesting. However, some of his Grainger playing is too refined for its own good. The famous Country Gardens, for example, is too jaunty and mild; try Grainger's own rambunctious performance for a contrasting view of the music. And In Dahomey, labeled a rag by Grainger, has precious little ragtime feeling either in the arrangement or the performance. However, the lush decadence Hamelin evokes in Ramble on Love (a sort of meditation on Strauss's Rosenkavalier) is almost worth the price of the disc. Just don't expect to get the complete Grainger experience here. --Leslie Gerber

You can hear why Grieg admired Percy Grainger so warmly........2000-01-15

There is an interesting story behind this release which is recounted in the sleeve notes. When it was first discovered, Harold Schonberg advised that it not be released because the number of finger slippages and outright mistakes would injure the reputation of a great pianist. It's true there are a lot of botches but Grainger's pianism - this was the first time I'd heard him play - is about as virtuosic as it gets. This live recording from 1957, when Grainger was in his seventies, is well worth the release. If you're a real fan of the Grieg, my personal bias would be towards one of the other early recordings - either the famous Lipatti or the Gieseking with Karajan - but if you're into historic performances then get this disc. There's also some of Grainger's own works (including the famous Country Gardens, which gets an even more botched treatment than the Grieg) and the sense of occasion in hearing Grainger himself play them is enormous. It's wild.
