|
There are finer recordings around than this slightly droopy performance of d'Indy's Symphony on a French Mountain Air, particularly Dutoit/Thibaudet on Decca, featuring much better playing, sound, and a livelier finale. However, the real point of interest in this "on demand" reissue from Arkivmusic.com is the Second Symphony. There have been very few recordings of this major work, and Plasson gives a good account of it, urging his orchestra to play more convincingly than was its 1970s and '80s norm. Completed in 1903, this piece is a sort of "Franck on steroids" essay in cyclical form, having four generous movements. Its thematic material may not always be the most memorable, but if you like Franck, or Magnard, or Chausson, then this disc will be a mandatory acquisition. Recorded in 1982, the sonics are also less cavernous than in the coupled, Baudo-led French Mountain Air. We are still waiting for a performance of the Second Symphony that vindicates its claim to become a repertory item, but until one arrives, this will do very nicely.
