CD Reviews

Gorgeousness counts for a lot in these two luscious works

Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 06/02/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Most older listeners leave behind light classics like Scheherazade and the Fountains of Rome at a certain point. I retain a lingering fondness for the former, though, and in the annals of great Scheherazade recordings, Stokowski produced a handufl. This must be the most gorgeous to come out of Philadelphia since his heyday, and gorgeousness counts for a lot.

Muti doesn't lay on the Arabian Nights shmaltz at all--his tempos tend to be brisk, his phrasing pristine rather than blatant. But there's panache, and EMI's recorded sound, if a bit distant, packs a punch. If Scheherazade is one of your guilty pleasures, this is a luscious wallow. The Resphigi, also gorgeously played, gets a marvellously pure and un-vulgar reading."
