Albert Roussel • Complete Symphonies, Orchestral Works • 2-4 from 4 CD
Stereo | APE + CUE + LOG + SCANS | EAC rip | 800Mb | RAR 3% Rec.
Label: Naxos | 2009
Classical

Stéphane Denève's Roussel cycle is shaping up to be the finest available--not that there's a lot of compelling competition. All of the symphonies are shockingly neglected, but the First might be the least-familiar of them all, God only knows why. It's a gorgeous, impressionistic piece with evocative titles (Forest in Winter, Renewal, Summer evening, Fauns and Dryads) and shimmering, atmospheric music that lives up to its expectations. Denève leads a thoroughly committed, even inspired performance, sensitive to Roussel's detailed scoring but also fluent, lively, and attentive to each movement's symphonic architecture. It's a wonderful performance, excellently played and recorded. There's very little "minor" Roussel. Even his short works have a certain seriousness and substance. This is certainly true of Résurrection, a symphonic prelude after Tolstoy, while the four-movement suite from Le marchand de sable qui passe reveals Roussel's expert scoring for small ensemble (flute, horn, clarinet, harp, and strings). Really this is an essential acquisition for anyone who loves French music and the late Romantic school in general. Don't pass it up.

Robert Schumann • The Four Symphonies, Overtures • Kubelik, BPO

Label: Deutsche Grammapon | 1994
Classical

Music for orchestra is a separate part in Schumann's works. With the exception of the concertos, this album contains almost all of this part. The First Symphony, known as the "Spring Symphony" was written at the beginning of 1841. This first work for orchestra was outlined in four days, between January 23 and 26. One month later, it was already orchestrated and the premiere took place in Leipzig at the end of March. The Fourth - which in fact is the second - followed a few months later, in September 1841. The main lines were also composed in four days and was finished on December 6. A second version with modified instrumentation was performed in 1853 in Dusseldorf and was titled the Fourth Symphony.

Mariss Jansons' EMI Shostakovich symphony cycle took nearly two decades to complete, yet it was mere weeks after the release of the final installment (Symphonies 3 & 14) that this new boxed set appeared, providing an opportunity for collectors to get all 15 symphonies at a bargain price. But don't let the packaging's diminutive dimensions fool you: there's nothing small-scaled about the music making.
