Two album for the price of one
Having seen many references in the past to this Everest audiophile recording of “The Little Train”, my expectations where set high. Since I never got hold of the SACD-version, I have nothing to compare to. However, while listening I feel there must be something missing to this classic with regard to transparency and dimension. Things improve for the chamber pieces. The L’Histoire du Soldat holds well for repeated listening and has a warm and natural feel to it. A good complement to the Robert Mandell version. Though, playing them one after the other clearly reveals who’s the top choice for stunning (disturbing?) realism.
Don't how to title!
Haitor Villa-Lobos' music, as well as Ginastera's is, are quite underrated, so far. Even for we, Iberian public. Don't ask me why, I just don't kow. They are rarely programmed in worlde orchestral concertos. But, as in this miscellaneous slbum, they deserve far more attention from the audiences. They're not "revolutionary", yes. But, was Copland, a point of reference for this period, a revolutionary. I think he WAS, in his own way and time. The opposition to Vienna's Second School postulates was a "revolution" in itself. And Music, as all forms of Art, is a constant controversy: between what has been done yet and what is still waiting for coming to existence. Milhaud's "Creation du Monde" is, in my opinion, some sort of dadaism applied to music with an attempt of "burlesque" wich is, viewed with today's eyes, a failure, sorry to say. Of course, there will be many listeners who disagree with my statement. Stravinsky's "Le Hitoire du Soldat" is, as almost everything from his author, a classic beyond the pass of Time. I could say that Stravinsky is a musical genre in his own. From the sound quality, both Villa-Lobos and Ginastera's works are a little bit overloaded in level (surprisingly, the deep, deep bass is present as in rare occasions is). Don't know HOW the original master tapes are, sure, but my previous experience with HDTT recordings let me to gess they're not much different, if any. A conclusion: music to DISCOVER and enjoy.. Recommended.
Mixed bag
The Villa Lobos and Ginastera part of this compilation is, of course, a bona fide audiophile classic, with stunning, limpid transparency and extravagant 3D staging. Plus some unwelcome tape overload... But I regret to advise that this hi-res transfer is not as good as the short-lived and uber-rare Vanguard/Everest SACD or a DSD-rip from that. But good luck getting hold of it... The Stravinsky pieces are welcome are well up with the commercial transfers. Still, there's a lot of value for money in this compilation, especially looking at availability and prices of originals!
Brash & Brilliant 'Everest' Classics
Before being sold off to companies that produced low-quality Lp knock-offs, Bert Whyte's Everest Records was an industry leader in producing audiophile recordings from master tapes recorded on 35 mm film. Heard in high-quality transfers like this one from HDTT, the sound quality is nothing short of stunning. The music is ideal as an audiophile sound demo. All three Villa-Lobos and Ginastera scores are 'big orchestra' showpieces written by South American composers who knew how to write music with a maximum of colorful bravura. The Stravinsky and Milhaud pieces were written for chamber orchestra and the razor-sharp clarity of Everest's engineering was never put to better use. In short, this is a winner in every respect; the performances are perfection and the sound quality will amaze you. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!
