Review of recording
People, The Monteux recording of Debussy? Ravel is excellent.Gret sound quality.
Magical
I have loved these recordings since forever, but have never heard them like this. Monteux, one of the few conductors Toscanini openly admired, is worth hearing in anything he does, but his way with French music is totally inimitable, sort of like Rubinstein's Chopin. (Even though both men's favorite composer was Brahms -- who they both also played fabulously). Apart from the air and presence which the engineers captured, all the pieces, especially Rapsodie Espagnole, abound in hitherto inaudible, gossamer touches of cymbals, glockenspiel, bells and other high percussion. Not emphasized, or "hi-fi-efied", but just there. Get this, and marvel. And HDDT, find all the Monteux you can and let us have it . . . Vienna Brahms 2, London Haydn Variations, etc.
