George Szell - George Szell Edition - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: LIMITED EDITION. George Szell's reputation as a perfectionist is legendary, and these recordings, taped between 1949 and 1970, offer a vivid portrait of a conductor whose clarity, discipline and structural command set new standards in orchestral performance. The New York Times praised his 'uncompromising precision and taut rhythmic control' and critics have long admired the 'incisive, diamond-cut playing' he drew from orchestras, yet also the elegance and lyricism that balanced his rigour. These recordings, described by Gramophone as 'models of orchestral refinement and integrity' bring together Szell's complete legacy for Decca, Philips and Deutsche Grammophon, preserving performances that still set benchmarks of style and authority. Besides purely symphonic repertoire, including Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Dvorák's Eighth and Brahms's Third Symphonies, a fiery account of the incidental music for the composer's Egmont, and luminous versions of Rosamunde (Schubert) and A Midsummer Night's Dream (Mendelssohn) the set also includes concerto recordings with Clifford Curzon (Mozart, Brahms and Tchaikovsky) and his sole recording for Deutsche Grammophon, Dvorák's Cello Concerto with Pierre Fournier. Included by way of bonus is a 30-minute rehearsal extract for the recording of Handel's Water Music - never before published. Even while involved with the Cleveland Orchestra (from 1947 until his death in 1970) Szell continued to work with the great European ensembles in London, Amsterdam and Vienna even after taking up the post in Cleveland. Their mutual respect and affinity is evident throughout this set. Szell may have earned his reputation as a podium autocrat, but he knew how to get the best out of orchestras, who valued the fact that he never wasted a word or a gesture. The 1962 account of Brahms's First Concerto with Clifford Curzon was acclaimed as a definitive recordin

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression.
