Another Testament to Great Reissues.......2003-06-02
In this era of homogenized classical collections, it is great to see a label like Testament rescue gems from the vaults of labels like EMI and reissue them on CD. This CD presents orchestral pieces by French composers Georges Bizet, Maurice Ravel and Albert Roussel, performed by the great Andre Cluytens. Cluytens has an immense reputation as an interpreter of French music, and it shows here. The Bizet and Ravel are mono recordings from the mid-1950s, but they have that shimmer and sparkle for which EMI engineers were famous. Cluytens went on to record most of Ravel's Orchestral Works for EMI in stereo (the 2CD set is available as an import only), but these mono performances are every bit their equal. The disc's final Roussel piece was from the same 1963 sessions as another Testament CD featuring Roussel works (see my review), which could not fit on that collection due to time constraints, and is therefore featured here. (Note that this very same Roussel piece was previously issued on CD by EMI on the Andre Cluytens "Artist Profile" collection.) In all, this disc is yet another "testament" to a great reissue program.
