The Originals - Rossini / Bizet

SKU: 04047

Price:
AU $18.13

Label: Deutsche Grammophon Cat. No.: 477 5908 Medium: CD No. Discs: 1

For the first time outside Japan - all 8 Rossini overtures recorded by Ferenc Fricsay complete on a single CD! Three of them are receiving their first official international release on CD, aptly coupled with the preludes (Suite I) and Act 4 ballet music from Bizet's Carmen. The ballet music has also been unavailable on CD outside Japan.

"Fricsay's thrusting, almost Mozartian Rossini overtures show that most conductors are asleep at the reins of these warhorses." - Calum MacDonald, BBC Music Magazine, November 1994.

"...Rossini overtures, expressive, as pertinent as Beecham's or Reiner's, conducted with wonderful grace and rhythmic lift: note the light, diaphanous strings and lovely winds chorus in Signor Bruschino." - Christopher Breunig, HiFi News & Record Review, London, January 1995.

"Fricsay is an easy recommendation for those not minding fast overall speeds. The orchestral playing is well up to the chosen tempi, the recording is first-rate and the whole effect exhilarating." [Rossini Overtures] - Penguin Guide, 1966.

"Fricsay [...] does Suite I (very well too) and adds the ballet music from Act 4, which includes items from L'Arlesienne [...] and The Fair Maid of Perth, and a long orchestral ritornello from Carmen which I do not remember hearing before outside the opera house. The sound is slightly variable but splendid in the actual suite." [Bizet] - Penguin Guide, 1966.

"No other conductor has succeeded in performing the lithe brilliance of Carmen in such an ecstatic fashion." - Fono Forum, December 1978 [Bizet].
