|
This disc should appeal to anyone who enjoys a program of light classics. Though recorded 45 years ago—with two selections slightly older—it reminds us how near to perfection Walter Legge’s Philharmonia Orchestra could be in the ideal acoustics of Kingsway Hall. This was also the last of Herbert von Karajan’s collaborations with that handpicked English orchestra. Besides making for delightful listening, the disc has a certain historic importance. The performances would achieve total perfection if a chorus had joined in the Polovtsian Dances of Borodin, but of course this version makes a fine effect doing without. Karajan’s performances strike a nice balance between discipline and expression, always suffused with the high spirits of most of this music. As implied above, the early stereo recording lets one hear everything that is going on in sound that combines warmth, sparkle, and a just representation of instrumental character. A feast for the ears!
