专辑介绍
Artistic Quality: 8
Sound Quality: 3
Thomas Beecham recorded all of this material commercially around the same time as these versions were captured (early to mid 1950s), leading us once again to question the point of duplicating the repertoire on disc. This is particularly the case with Beecham, whose studio work, in terms of color or excitement, never yielded anything to his concerts, and in the case of the Balakirev and Rimsky-Korsakov pieces these are radio recordings anyway. Be that as it may, and despite sound that’s often extremely congested and dynamically compressed, projecting all but the loudest moments at virtually the same volume, the performances are indeed vintage Beecham (at least what we can hear of them).
The Balakirev, like his better-sounding studio recording, lives dangerously in its quick movements, particularly the finale. It’s a straightforward, vivacious performance of a straightforward and vivacious work, and that’s really all that needs to be said about it. The Rimsky-Korsakov suite also has energy aplenty, particularly in its concluding number, and some luscious phrasing of the sinuous melodies at such points as the Dance of the Queen of Chemakha, though the dull sonics severely compromise what undoubtedly was a sparkling event in the studio. Adding the chorus to Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances never makes much sense outside the realm of the complete opera, and although Beecham plays the music for all it’s worth, the “here again, gone again” vocal contributions just plain get in the way. For Beecham completists only.
