Free Music Review: Wonderful & deeply felt recording of Prince Igor
Hit: 5 Stars
Borodin's Prince Igor with choir is my favourite music, having once sung myself in Chesterton Choir Cambridge, and I've been searching for definitive recording. Most of recommended recordings hurry the music along spoiling the beautiful melody and intricate harmony. Solti's Formula One rendition is the worst one even though highly recommended by Penguin Guide.
I picked up this CD in a second-hand shop in London simply because it was cheap, and got a nice surprise. This unkown conductor paces each section of the music wisely and manages to bring best out of the music, achieving both nostalgic beauty of the female chorus and excitement of the fast sections. Male chorus blends beautifully with orchestra and female chorus. This might not be definitive version, but in the same class as Stokowski's famous DECCA Phase4 recording and BBC Legend live recording.
