Serge Rachmaninoff.

Symphony No. 3, opus 44.
Symphonic Dances, opus 45.

London SO, & Philharmonia Orchestra, Neeme Järvi.

What I not expected was that these interpretations are quite good, in which Järvi has a fine tuned ear for the orchestral details, which are all over the place. The Symphony was recorded in 1987, and has this typical woolly sound characteristics, which are in essence masking too much detail, but my esoteric player makes much more sense of it as the other players I had, so in effect I hear all those things I did not hear before, which is a huge bonus in re listening it again after so many years. The Symphonic Dances were recorded in 1991, and by then the sound characteristics had changed, and the recording is much opener and has more presence. Marvelous performance too. So thumbs up.

[Traverso]

Berloiz

Requiem "Grande Messe de Morts"

[Harry]

Johannes Brahms.

Hungarian Dances.

London SO, Neeme Järvi.

The recordings are from 1988-89, and all in all quite good. Järvi makes sure that every detail in these finely orchestrated music is in the foreground, and projects the Hungarian feel to perfection. What it could have used as an addition would be more fire, and faster tempi's. But that's wishful thinking. I have yet to find a recording of these works that would satisfy what I need of it. Until then this is the one to go for me. I have an old Naxos recording which I like much better, but the recording is terrible, O, well.

Some years ago a big box from the label Naxos was released with music from the Strauss family based on freshly minted scores. For me that was quite an event, since I am an enormous fan of their music. How great was the disappointment when I went through that box. Yes all the music was there, but the orchestras, conductors, were second tier, as well as the sound, An exception has to be made for some conductors, but really the members of the orchestras, were not motivated, due to the lack of rehearsal time. Many musical mistakes were made, some things should have been recorded anew, and so on. Due to that fact I shy away from this box.
Then there is Chandos, Järvi and the Estonian orchestra, and they set the standard for future recordings. All the Strauss members were fabulous orchestrators, and never short of a gripping melody. Järvi is my champion, for he is keenly aware of what it takes to make this music world class. Such joy and happiness for me. When I am depressed I will put up this recording, and the my world is right again.
What a pity he and Chandos only recorded one disc, but I treasure it. Fabulous sound and a perfect performance.

I'm in!
