Description:2023 marks the 140th anniversary of the birth of the influential Swiss conductor Ernest Ansermet. Issued as a companion box to â??The Stereo Yearsâ? (485 1583). Encompasses recordings from the year of Deccaâ??s birth, in 1929, to 1955. Newly refurbished digital mastering (Chris Bernauer, Mark Obert-Thorn). Includes Ansermetâ??s landmark 1952 recording of Daphnis et Chloé, published on CD for the first time in genuine mono (without stereo reverb). Also included in this collection is Lyadovâ??s orchestration of Mussorgskyâ??s â??Gopakâ?? from Sorochintsy Fair. The stereo recording was intended for inclusion on a London (US Decca) stereo LP (CS 6176) but this album was never released and only a test pressing survives, making the bonus stereo publication in this edition a world-premiere release. Limited Edition, Original Jackets. - WORKS BY HANDEL/VIVALDI/MOZART/HAYDN/DEBUSSY/BARTOK/A.O
As a conductor, philosopher, mathematician and composer, Ernest Ansermet occupied an exceptional position in the world of music. At the frontier of modernity, he offered up recordings of music by several composers whom he counted among his friends: Debussy, Ravel, Roussel and Stravinsky but also Honegger, Frank Martin, Bartók and Prokofiev - all of whom are represented in this collection of recordings made for Decca between 1929 and 1955. The collection opens with a recording of six of Handel's Op. 6 Concerti Grossi made with a specially formed band of London musicians, the 'Decca String Orchestra' in 1929, the year in which the label was founded. Ansermet returned to the studio to record for the label from 1946 and from then on became one of it's most frequently recorded conductors. Fortunately, the music of his friend Igor Stravinsky is strongly represented in this collection. Of other composers Ansermet knew personally, several landmark recordings of works by Maurice Ravel are significant. 1952 was a particularly busy year for the conductor and his Orchestre de la Suisse Romande - with recordings of Handel, Prokofiev as well as his famous interpretation of Debussy's "Pelléas et Mélisande". An orchestral version of Mussorgsky's two-minute "Gopak" was recorded as the last work in this collection. The stereo recording from 1955 was only available as a test pressing - this box presents it as a veritable world premiere.

Ernest Ansermet - The Mono Years

CD

Artist: Ernest Ansermet

Label: Decca

Description:

This 10-CD box set presents a comprehensive collection of Ernest Ansermet's mono recordings for Decca, spanning the years 1947 to 1958. Ansermet, one of the most influential conductors of the 20th century, is renowned for his interpretations of French and Russian music, particularly the works of Stravinsky, Debussy, and Ravel.

The set includes Ansermet's classic recordings of Stravinsky's "The Firebird" and "Petrushka," Debussy's "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" and "La Mer," and Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloé." It also features lesser-known works by these composers, as well as music by Berlioz, Bizet, Chabrier, Dukas, Fauré, and Roussel.

Ansermet's conducting is characterized by its clarity, precision, and rhythmic vitality. His recordings are considered to be among the finest examples of the mono era, and they continue to be admired by music lovers and audiophiles alike.
