Free Music Notes for Chadwick: Symphony No. 2; Symphonic Sketches
Free Music Review: Valuable Americana
Hit: 4 Stars
Chadwick is one of the great finds in the revival of American Romantic Music. The Symphonic Sketches in particular is a thrilling piece. This recording has much to recommend it. The Symphony seems underrehearsed, although the overall playing is vigorous and the interpretation is coherent. The violin playing is rather scrappy, but if you can put that aside, the performance is still enjoyable. The Symphonic Sketches are another matter. Here the playing is excellent, and the whole thing crackles with excitement. The Neeme Jarvi recording of it is suaver in its execution and certainly better recorded, but the Kuchar version seems more thrilling to me. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that Naxos paid for only a limited amount of reahearsal time, which Kuchar expended mainly on the Sketches. No matter, this is a highly worthwhile disc.
