Free Music Review: Rivaling the very best
Hit: 5 Stars
There is no review of this recording in the archives of The Gramophone, and if [...] is to be trusted, this mid-price issue is its first appearance. Any lover of Peer Gynt should jump at it, because Temirkanov includes more than the usual big-name conductors do while offering better playing and conductors than we get from Scandinavian provincial recordings. To quote from the Classics Today review, "You get all of the music from the two suites, plus such rarely heard numbers as Peer Gynt and the Woman in Green, Peer Gynt at the Statue of Memnon, the Whitsun Hymn (with chorus), and The Dance of the Mountain King's Daughter." Temirkanov bows to no one in this thrice-familiar music. He may lack Beecham's geniality and Karajan's grandness -- which some find overblown -- but this is a major conductor's viewpoint carried out by a committed Royal Philharmonic. The sound is fine, and as filler we get orchestrations, not by the composer, of five incidental pieces. All in all, a lovely postponed release.
