Description:
＜The first SACD release of Sargent's Sibelius recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and other recordings of Sargent's specialty. The first SACD release of Sargent's Sibelius recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and other recordings of his specialty, featuring three orchestras, in high-quality sound from Northern Europe! The first SACD reissue of Sargent's Sibelius recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and other recordings of Sargent's mastery of Sibelius. New commentary is included. First SACD release! This is the first SACD release of Sibelius' five orchestral works and Grieg from the Scandinavian music that Sir Malcolm Sargent (1895-1967), who became world-famous mainly as a conductor at the Proms, excelled at. In particular, the four Sibelius pieces recorded with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in 1961 were not only the first recordings for the orchestra, but also became the talk of the town as masterpieces that expressed the full range of Scandinavian emotions based on their rich sound. This reissue includes the original album with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the 1958 recording of "Pohjola's Daughter" with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and the 1959 recording of "Lyric Suite" with the Philharmonia Orchestra.The master was digitized at 192kHz/24bit from the original analog master tapes in the original country for this release, and mastered separately for the SACD and CD layers. New commentary is included. This is a permanent preservation disc. Sargent was a popular conductor, especially in the UK, with many interesting anecdotes. He had many exchanges with composers from his own country, and many of his works were premiered in Japan. He also made a guest appearance in Japan with the NHK Symphony Orchestra in 1954, which may be nostalgic for old fans. Originally, he emerged as a choral conductor, and his repertoire included classical and romantic music, and along with British works, he excelled in Scandinavian music. He has made several recordings of Sibelius in particular, and his Symphonies Nos. 1, 2, and 5 are well known as masterpieces. (1/2)
