MENDELSSOHN & SCHUBERT / Carl Schuricht, Pierre Monteux (CD, Eloquence, 2018)

Description: MENDELSSOHN & SCHUBERT / Carl Schuricht, Pierre Monteux (CD, Eloquence, 2018) Mendelssohn: Overtures; Schubert: Rosamunde Carl Schuricht; Pierre Monteux Two original Decca releases of the Vienna Philharmonic in early-Romantic repertoire, freshly compiled and newly remastered. ‘I am an exponent of an old tradition,’ remarked Carl Schuricht. ‘I have nothing against the music of today but I feel it is important to rejuvenate the sense of tradition.’ This he did throughout a distinguished career which included relationships with all the great European orchestras, including a ready understanding with the Vienna Philharmonic. Working with them he was observed by the young Seiji Ozawa who reflected later that ‘his music did not let me feel his age or rather it sounded more vividly than that by any younger conductors’. Schuricht had a flair for Mendelssohn and conducted the overtures throughout his career, including late recordings with a German radio orchestra but these Decca sessions from June 1954 surpass them for refinement of execution as well as deftness of conception. Originally coupled with excerpts from ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ on an RCA LP, Pierre Monteux’s recording of incidental music from ‘Rosamunde’ was belatedly repatriated to Decca in the 1970s as part of the label’s familiar ‘World Of’ series. The Ballet Music No. 1 was omitted on previous CD reissues and is now duly restored for this Eloquence release.
