Free Music Review: Spectacular
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a sensational CD. It was recorded in October 1961, a year before the orchestra moved to Lincoln Center and began to decline in quality. The Philharmonic just sounds spectacular on this CD. They even sound better than the Boston Symphony under Munch in this symphony. William Lincer is an excellent soloist in Harold. His tone is beautiful, and his articulation is spot on. Bernstein's tempos are vigorous but not rushed. He does observe Berlioz's instruction in one of his letters to double the tempo in the coda to the last movement. The 1961 sound engineering is fantastic, as good as anything RCA Living Stereo was turning out at the same time. The performance of La Mort de Cleopatre is highly articulate and dramatically telling. Jennie Tourel sings very well, and Bernstein's accompaniment is vivid and striking. I can't recommend this CD highly enough. In Harold, Bernstein probably is inspired by the landmark 78 rpm recording by his mentor, Serge Koussevitzky. Bernstein's recording is in the same league.
