Szell in Sibelius

This is a welcome re-issue from HDTT. This recording is currently only otherwise available in multi-CD sets, and is one of very few examples of Szell conducting Sibelius that is commercially available. Szell’s style was one of precise intonation and rhythm, with a lean orchestral tone, seemingly at odds with the rich tone of the orchestra and the famous acoustic of the Concertgebouw. However, the orchestra is highly responsive to Szell’s way with the music, and carry out his wishes convincingly. In the other direction, Szell was often a bit more mellow when conducting in Europe than when at home. It makes for a performance of high technical accomplishment, but all the things we love about this symphony are there. Recent HDTT transfers from Philips have retained a nicely rounded analogue warmth, and this one does so as well. A much loved performance that has come up very well in this transfer.

Szell's Sibelius #2

The Second symphony of Sibelius has long been a favorite of mine, Szell's reading of it ranks with the best, imo. Rumors are that Szell and the Concertgebouwe did not get along that well, but it certainly doesn't show in this recording. The playing is exemplary. The HDTT brings out the best in this 1964 recording, originally on Philips. But the star is Szell's interpretation. This is early Sibelius and is often subject to an overly 'romantic' reading. Here, Szell is supple, lithe and direct. He avoids the overly-opulent approach that loads the piece down in many other recordings. Recomended.
