Mozart: Symphonien Nos. 35-41»rank: 33176from: Deutsche Grammophon
0ur opinion: essential recording:Karl Bohm was one of this century's great Mozart conductors--a fact that's apt to be forgotten in the flood of authentic instrument productions, many of them on DG's associated labels. He conducted Mozart with real love and affection, maintaining moderate tempos, allowing each work's gorgeous melodies a chance to sing and breathe. Mozart's symphonic music has its roots in the opera house, and so did Bohm. Listening to the witty woodwind interjections in the finale of Symphony No. 39, for example, you can ...

Mahler: Symphony No. 2 / Mehta, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra»rank: 17448by: Gustav Mahler, Zubin Mehta, Ileana Cotrubas, Christa Ludwig, Wiener Philharmoniker
0ur opinion: :'Beg to report safe delivery of a strong, healthy last movement to my Second. Father and child doing as well as can be expected.' So ran Mahler's jubilant message on completion of his 'Resurrection' Symphony, which after several years' painful gestation had come together in his mind with a sudden flash of inspiration. lt had begun as a single-movement funeral rite, and gradually taken shape under the influence of Schubert's music, but the choral conclusion of Beethoven's Ninth was its Grail. Zubin Mehta's 25-year-old recording ...

Glass: Violin concerto»rank: 33489from: Naxos American
0ur opinion: :Philip Glass's signature doom-and-gloom minor sonorities and shifting rhythms scintillate and eddy under the touch of Adele Anthony and the Ulster Symphony. The solo line in the Violin Concerto is at odds with a unified orchestra throughout, and Anthony's romantic tone draws the listener in for an exploration of the texture, grain, and fiber of Glass's structural minimalism. The Ulster Symphony's rendering of Company and Akhnaten, under the leadership of Takuo Yuasa, forms brilliant darts of tonal color. As a musical adaptation of Samuel Beckett's ...

Holst: The Planets»rank: 11277from: Decca
0ur opinion: :Charles Dutoit often sounds better on disc than he does live. The reason for this is simple: he loves to play to the audience, and the result is all kinds of wild gesticulating that the orchestra knows perfectly well to ignore. Sometimes they ignore him completely, to the peril of the performance at hand. ln the studio, however, there is no audience and the conductor is free to focus on the music. Dutoit has a real affection for The Planets and his performance is vital, ...
