A recording of great historical value that clearly conveys the powerful ensemble and the conductor's leadership.
The recording includes both the finished performance and valuable rehearsal recordings, allowing a glimpse into Monteux's process of interpretation and expression, further enhancing the appeal of the orchestra's intricate ensemble.
The thickness of the strings and the clear attack of the brass create the structure of the work, and Monteux's interpretation is evident throughout the finished performance, making it persuasive. The accompanying rehearsal recordings highlight his intentions for phrasing and dynamics, making this a highly informative album that will deepen your understanding of the work by comparing the two.
