Free Music Review: Thrilling "Scottish" from Maag and the LSO
Hit: 5 Stars
Mendelssohn's "Scottish" Symphony is in my opinion one of the greatest orchestral works of the Early Romantic Period. I must say that Peter Maag's performance with the London Symphony Orchestra on Decca is the most thrilling version of this work I've heard. After listening to Maag's "Scottish", the famous versions of more well-known conductors like Karajan and Abbado seem rather ordinary in comparison. Maag's version is much livelier and more exciting. I would definitely consider this recording to be a reference "Scottish".
Mendelssohn: A Midsummer Night's Dream, Symphony No. 3 / Maag, London Symphony Orchestra Poster
These recordings deserve to be called legends. Maag's Scottish Symphony, recorded in 1960, is a gloriously warmhearted, energetic performance, beautifully recorded in mellow, vibrant sound. It set the recorded standard for this work for four decades, and it still does, surpassing even Maag's digital remakes. The Midsummer Overture and incidental music are just as convincing, if a tiny bit less well recorded. Too bad we had to lose the Hebrides Overture, which accompanied the Symphony on LP, but this is a very long CD with most of the contents of two classical LPs at a highly reasonable price. Maag is still active, recording for small labels with obscure European orchestras and still getting impressive results. --Leslie GerberClassical Music CDs
