Customer Reviews of Great Conductors of the 20th Century
Great Conductors of 20th Century = Best Reissues of the 21st It's sad that the "Great Conductors of the 20th Century" reissue series has not gotten more notice on Amazon.com and in other places, because it has my vote for the best reissue program thus far of the 21st Century. Drawing from the archives of all the major classical labels (EMI, Sony, BMG, DG, Decca, Philips, Supraphon, etc.), EMI and IMG Artists have assembled a wonderful series of affordable two-disc sets by the leading conductors of the last century. And unlike its counterpart, "The Great Pianists of the 20th Century," which are basically compilations of material already available on other CDs, the "Great Conductors" features rare and, for the most part, previously unreleased performances!
This particular CD, Volume 6, features the great Andre Cluytens. Throughout the 1950s and early 60s Cluytens recorded frequently for Walter Legge at EMI, and there are no shortage of Cluytens CDs currently available. Notables include his Ravel Piano Concertos with Francois, Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique (see my review), and Shostakovich's Piano Concertos with the composer himself on the ivories. Sadly his brilliant Beethoven cycle, which was available at budget line in the first EMI Seraphim series, is now out of print. But enough about his other recordings, let's talk about what is contained in this collection. The highlights here are the French works -- a 1963 Debussy's Images, Bizet's Symphony in mono from 1953, and a live recording of Symphonie Fantastique (different from the one mentioned above and from the mono recording on Testament) from 1964 in Tokyo. Some of the material in this set has been issued before though. The Ravel La Valse has been available on an EMI Import of Cluytens conducting Ravel's Orchestral Works. The excerpts of Boris Godunov are available in the full opera on EMI's GROTC set, but since I'm not an opera fan, I don't own that set anyway. Finally, the Wagner Prelude from Lohengrin has just recently been reissued on a Testament disc of Cluytens conducting Wagner (see my review). However, these works account for less than 20% of the music on this collection, and having the same great music on two different discs is easy to swallow in this case.
Whether you are a serious collector of classical music or a beginner, the "Great Conductors of the 20th Century" has something for everyone. If the prized, rare performances previously unreleased on CD (or ever!) doesn't excite you, then use this as an opportunity to check out one of the greatest conductors ever recorded. Since stores are offering increasingly homogenized classical music sections, this conductor may not be in your collection, and that would truly be a shame.
