Free Music Review: Chicago Symphony does 1812 and MORE!
Hit: 5 Stars
The right orchestra is often the key ingredient to getting a particular classical recording "just right". The Chicago Symphony is known as an orchestra of "virtuosos". There are many recordings out there to prove this. This orchestra is perhaps not as interpretively warm as some of the best European orchestras (I'm thinking Vienna Phil and Concertgebouw) so I look for orchestral music based upon the demands upon the players and orchestra alike -- making it a point to look for Chicago recordings when the demands upon the soloists and sections are extreme and need the confidence and athleticism of the virtuosos.
When I feel a work is very sophisticated and needs extra interpretive subtlety, I then look first to those Euro orchs I mentioned above. I've seen instances where the opposite attends. I have an excellent "Pines of Rome" by the Berliner Philharmoniker, and so on.
The idea above is for a starting place to go looking and listening.
Here we have the reliable orchestral showpieces in Tchaikovsky Ouvertures. The 1812 is a great place to hear the Chicagoans crank it up and yet not split notes, or goof up at all. They are comfortable at ff and fff volume.
This would be a good introduction for someone desiring to hear what the Chicago group is all about, and would fill that needed place for the Fourth of July "whiz - bang" sound fest music.
Best to go out and hear all the world's major orchestras. . . .Anyway I like this one!
