VAUGHAN WILLIAMS: Symphony No. 8; RAVEL: Piano Concerto in G; D’INDY: Symphony on a French Mt. Air – Nicole Henriot-Schweitzer, p./ Boston Sym. Orch./ Charles Munch – Pristine Audio
Besides two classic French scores restored from RCA, Pristine bequeaths us a fine performance of the Vaughan Williams Eighth Symphony “live” in its Boston premier.
Marguerite Long plays RAVEL: Piano Concerto in G; BEETHOVEN: Piano Concerto No. 3; D’INDY: Symphony on a French Mountain Air – Marguerite Long, p./ Orch. cond. Pedro de Freitas Branco (Ravel)/ Paris Conservatory Orch./ Felix Weingartner (Beethoven)/ Colonne Sym. Orch. / Paul Paray (D’Indy) – Dutton
Marguerite Long reigned as the supreme virtuoso of her time; and the two Gallic works confirm her prowess, while the Beethoven fares less successfully.
D’INDY: Istar, 0p.42, Choral varie, 0p. 55, Symphony No. 3, Op. 70, Diptyche mediterraneen – Iceland Symphony Orchestra /Sigurour Flosason, saxophone/Rumon Gamba, conductor – Chandos
The third in a fascinating collection of music by this French eccentric begs hearing more!
MAGNARD: Symphony No. 3 in B-flat Minor, Op. 11; D’INDY: Symphony No. 1 in G Major on a French Mountain Air, Op. 25 – Robert Casadesus, piano/ Orchestre de la Suisse Romande/Ernest Ansermet – Cascavelle
A particularly satisfying combination of Gallic scores from Swiss conducting master Ernest Ansermet, whose Edition continues in splendid form.
