Description:
A warm-hearted collaboration between father and son, coupled with three rare Ravel recordings conducted by the son - first release on CD. The Mozart, Bach and Gluck items bring together the great conductor Pierre Monteux and his son Claude Monteux (1920-2013), a flautist and conductor in his own right. Claude studied the flute with Georges Laurent, principal flute of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and went on to an international career as a soloist, appearing with Toscanini, Walter, Beecham, Stokowski, Casals, Stravinsky and, of course, his father. As a conductor he was music director of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra (1953-56) and of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic (1959-75), and appeared as a guest with orchestras around the world. Claude Monteux's musicianship as a flautist is heard at its clearest in the Mozart concerto: a deep, full-bodied sound and a fluent technique allied to inward depth and a poised elegance. There is no outward glitter here, but rather a performance that seems to sink into the substance of the music. All three works are played on modern instruments and in modern style, the rich, full-flavoured sonority put to the service of readings that treat the music as timeless and shape it on a grand scale. The Bach in particular has been admired since LP days: nothing about it is "baroque" in manner, and it has a gravity and impact akin to Mengelberg's St Matthew Passion, while Monteux's rhythmic instincts give it splendid forward momentum. Claude Monteux's flute solos blend with his father's conducting to produce music of real character. The coupling is a valuable programme of Ravel orchestral works conducted by Claude Monteux, appearing on CD for the first time. His conducting has the same vitality as his father's, but is considerably more romantic in expression, with a far wider range of tempo and dynamics. The passion of a musician who lived through the golden age of performance between the two world wars is what makes these recordings so appealing. For this reissue the analogue masters have been newly transferred at high bit rate and high sampling frequency, yielding sound of greater clarity and finer detail than has been heard before.
