Music reviews of Horenstein Conducts Rossini, Mahler & Nielsen
Music Review: Thank you, BBC and IMG Artists !!!
Rating: 5 Stars
This very generous 2 cd set contains a very good Mahler 6th and possibly even better Nielsen 5th, as well as a nicely played Rossini overture, all conducted by Jascha Horenstein. What is somewhat unusual in the case of the Mahler and Nielsen is that there are previously issued recordings of both pieces with which to compare these newly issued performances. There was and is a Mahler 6th with the Stockholm Philharmonic and a Nielsen 5th with the New Philharmonia Orchestra (the very same orchestra here), both on the British Unicorn label. To make a long story short, I believe that the BBC recordings are both better than the Unicorn recordings, although it should be said that the sound quality on the Unicorn releases is better than the BBC. Although I have heard technically better performances of the Mahler 6th, Horenstein's way with this work remains utterly convincing. With the Nielsen 5th, there are no such reservations. The New Philharmonia give of their very best, and this results in a performance that can hold its own against any. I should mention that the second cd also contains an interview with Horenstein in which he talks about the Nielsen 5th specifically.
