|
RCA's sound reportage of the [the Concerto for Orchestra]'s quieter moments has uncanny realism and if the climaxes are occasionally reined in, the sheer fervour of Reiner's direction more than compensates. The ''Pair Play'' is a very brisk 6'26'', the finale taut and agile: compare the movement's opening in both versions and Reiner's greater precision and control is immediately apparent. The couplings, too, are excellent: a Music for strings, percussion and celesta that goes all out for smooth transitions and fleet execution, and a stylishly turned set of Hungarian Sketches—with a substantially augmented percussion line in ''Bear Dance''. These too sound better than ever, the Music for strings, percussion and celesta having lost a confusing layer of distortion that hampered some earlier LP editions. -- Gramophone [3/1994] |
