| | Description: | Sony Classical is pleased to announce an exceptional new batch of reissues from the CBS/Sony and RCA Victor/BMG back catalogues. This latest instalment of the popular series showcases two of the most fascinating and provocative conductors of the last half century, as well as two legendary string quartets and some remarkable pianists playing treasures of Viennese Classicism.
In 1970 Boulez capped his CBS Debussy series, reissued here on 5 CDs, with a revolutionary interpretation of the composerâ??s operatic masterwork Pelléas et Mélisande. It was recorded in conjunction with a rapturously acclaimed new production at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, with a superb cast including Elisabeth Söderström as Mélisande, George Shirley as Pelléas and Donald McIntyre as Golaud. The sessions took place immediately following the series of performances, and the recordingâ??s release was met with the same words of praise that reviewers had lavished on the London staging: â??I have never heard â??Pelléasâ?? so superbly performed â?¦ Boulezâ??s sense of the music'â??s movement â?¦ is uncannily exactâ? (New York Times); â??A performance of much interest and many beauties â?¦ for the lucidity and elegance of its orchestral playing, the thoughtfulness of its approach â?¦ Söderström and Shirley give highly individual performances of great expressivityâ? (High Fidelity). - The first major commercial recording by Pierre Boulez, made in 1966 with London's New Philharmonia Orchestra, was of music by a composer he particularly revered, Claude DeBussy. Praised for it's "clarity and cool" (New York Times), Boulez's radical approach to DeBussy won him a Grammy. Records & Recording called the CBS album, comprising the Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, La Mer, and Jeux, "a record that needed to be made". The following year, in which he was appointed principal guest conductor and musical advisor in Cleveland, Boulez made a second DeBussy album with that elite ensemble comprising the Images and Danses. Gramophone greeted it's release with almost unbounded enthusiasm: "[The Images] are marvelously played by the Cleveland Orchestra, now the finest orchestral instrument in the United States... The Danses for harp and strings, beautifully played... make a very desirable fill-up." High Fidelity wrote: "This is the most lucid and illuminating performance of the Images that I know, and the Danses are equally accomplished." A year later, Boulez returned to the New Philharmonia in London for a third DeBussy programme: the three Nocturnes, Printemps and the Clarinet Rhapsody. High Fidelity's reviewer wrote: "Throughout, a fantastic clarity is brought to DeBussy's textures; entire sections of the orchestra play as one single instrument... so that the over-all rhythmic verve... is beautifully sustained, the harmonic subtleties etched with unimpeachable clarity. The same qualities are found in the other works." Then in 1970 Boulez capped his CBS DeBussy series, reissued here on 5 albums, with a revolutionary interpretation of the composer's operatic masterwork Pelléas et Mélisande. It was recorded in conjunction with a rapturously acclaimed new production at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, with a superb cast including Elisabeth Söderström as Mélisande, George Shirley as Pelléas and Donald McIntyre as Golaud. | | | Cover: |
