***********
The effective retirement of Carlo Maria Giulini has left the concert world without one of its most singular maestros. Equaled by few in Mozart and Verdi operas, his select concert repertoire is equally distinctive. Both works featured here receive dynamic and subtle studio recordings; the 1959 Pathétique, in particular, is an absolute classic. Maybe this live Edinburgh Festival account doesn't have the same control and symphonic integrity, but it's a gripping performance all the same. Giulini has a very Italianate ease with Tchaikovsky's melodic generosity, but never at the expense of the work's originality and tautness of structure. The third movement march is powerful and intense--no question of the audience applauding here--while the finale is passionate but never sentimental. Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition was a Giulini favorite; clearly he reveled in its orchestral sophistication. The present account sacrifices studio poise for live excitement, to thrilling effect. You'll need to make allowances for the limited 1961 sound, but as the "Great Gate of Kiev" reaches its spine-tingling apotheosis, the sense of "being there" is palpable.

Mathias Bamert is a totally sympathetic conductor for this music. Stokowski made three recordings of Night on the Bare Mountain, not counting the one for Fantasia, but Bamert's is equal to any of them, with a beautifully idyllic slow ending. Bamert's treatment of Pictures is a dazzling recreation of brilliant orchestration, but the great gem in this collection is the Boris synthesis. Once again Bamert equals Stokowski's three recordings (1936, 1941, 1968). Obviously Stokowski had on-going ideas for this score; in his last recording (on Decca/London, with the Suisse Romande Orchestra), he added a snippet from the end of the death scene, plus a shimmeringly sustained string chord that ends with soft chimes—an ending he also used in a 1968 Boston Symphony Orchestra concert. Apparently this addition wasn't published, and thus is not used in the Bamert recording. Chandos' sound is their very best, wonderfully capturing this multitude of colorful sounds with a fine sense of space and presence. A fabulous CD!

Hey ShoePac, long time no see?
A present (not from me actually)!
Do you remember Leonardi Slatkin's 1st "compendium" suite for "Pictures at an Exhibition" with various orchestrators?
He had been performing it round the world with many orchestras until 2003, but he never recorded it commercially.
Finally we get to see his performance at the BBC Proms 1991 with the Philharmonia Orchestra! ENJOY!
Leonard Slatkin's 1st "compendium" suite was :
1. Promenade (Lawrence Leonard)
2. Gnomus (Vladimir Ashkenazy)
3. Promenade II (Lucien Cailliet)
4. The Old Castle (Sergei Gorchakov)

Pianist Joanna MacGregor interviewing Leonard Slatkin, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Edward Johnson and Lawrence Leonard about "Pictures at an Exhibition".
Part1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cUg5DiGOd4
At a Promenade Concert on Monday, August 19th 1991 we heard Leonard Slatkin's brilliant first compilation from nine different orchestrations of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, a remarkably successful initiative, reminding us, as it did, of how many arrangements there have been of this evocative score. Then he went for extracts from Lawrence Leonard’s version for piano and orchestra, from Ashkenazy, Lucien Cailliet, Sergey Gorchakov, Leonidas Leonardi, Sir Henry Wood, Mikhail Tushmalov, Stokowski and Ravel.
It was the indefatigable Edward Johnson, champion of Leopold Stokowski, we had to thank for getting Slatkin interested and finding some of the scores. Now Slatkin has done it again with a new – in many ways more way-out – compilation including versions by Ellison, Gorchakov, Walter Goehr, Naoumoff, Geert van Keulen, Ashkenazy, Simpson, Cailliet, Wood, Lawrence Leonard, Leo Funtek, Boyd, Ravel and the Australian composer/arranger Douglas Gamley.
Slatkin’s first compilation, although he played it round the world, has never been commercially released, which makes it all the more pleasing to welcome his second version on this CD from the 2004 Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.
Now there are two possible attitudes to orchestrations of Pictures. There is the po-faced "I cannot be having with anything except Ravel" view, or on the other hand, that this colourful score has endless possibilities and most orchestrations give one a new angle on it. If you incline to the first, stop reading now, but if like me you want a sonic adventure, join Leonard Slatkin in this fascinating exploration, starting and ending with absolutely way-out versions, one of which works and one of which doesn’t.

Comments:
The CD issue of Telarc's famous Mussorgsky coupling deserves a special accolade. It represents the high-water mark of this small american company's extraordinarily confident creation of a highly-spectacular and yet natural orchestral balance, with the use of simple microphone techniques. Jack Renner, the company's President, was well aware of his debt to the late Bob Fine of Mercury, responsible for the pioneering series of mono recordings of the fifties and stereo recordings of the sixties, using at first one and then two or three microphones; also the impressive late fifties RCA stereo recordings achieved with similar techniques, recording Reiner in Chicago and Munch in Boston. Yet the Telarc digital recordings, following in this same tradition achieved new standards, especially in the glowing acoustic of Severance Hall, Cleveland. The series made with the Cleveland Symphonic Winds under Fennell and the full Cleveland Orchestra under Maazel create a vivid impression of realism, of the full panoply of wind or orchestral tone spread out in a natural perspective before the listener, the only quirk of balance being an occasionally over-insistent bass drum.
The coupling of Pictures and Night on the Bare Mountain dates from 1979 (the year of Decca's digital LP Debut with Boskovsky's New Year Strauss family concert) but is in my view in advance of anything that the multi-national companies were achieving digitally at that time. The sonic splendour of the closing picture, ''The Great Gate of Kiev'', with brass and strings converging in a glorious amplitude of tone, capped by the cymbals, is one of the most exciting climaxes I have heard on a disc. It richness is anticipated at the very beginning of Night on the Bare Mountain (it comes first) which is arresting from the opening bars. Both performances are fine ones . . . . Abbado (DG) and especially Solti on Decca (where the clarity is clinical) offer rather sharper detail, but the Telarc climaxes are special. -- Ivan March, Gramophone

Background information:
The Aurelia Saxophone Quartet takes its name from the Roman district where the group was founded in 1982 during a tour of the Dutch National Youth Orchestra. The concerts they gave in Rome were so successful that they decided to continued playing together back home in the Netherlands.
In addition to performing the traditional and modern quartet-compositions, the Aurelia Quartet has above all made a name with its own arrangements, two of which can be heard on this record.

Quote:
Stokowski prepared his own version of Pictures at an Exhibition because he thought Ravel’s standard orchestration sounded too French. Well, Stoky’s is certainly, again, darker and heavier, but it also betrays his impatience, well known from his Bach transcriptions, with holding a scoring beyond a single phrase, or even half-phrase. In other words, the orchestration is self-conscious in its obsessive variety. ... Note that Stokowski left out the two most French movements, “Tuileries” and “Limoges,” and preferred an exceptionally fast tempo for “Bydlo,” whipping the oxcart along at sports-car speeds.
