Another Testament to Great Reissues.......2004-03-17
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 disc presents orchestral pieces, all originally written for piano, by French composers Debussy and Ravel as performed by the great Belgian conductor Andre Cluytens. Cluytens had an immense reputation as an interpreter of French music, and it shows here. These recordings are all in mono from 1953-54, but they have that pre-stereo shimmer and sparkle for which EMI engineers were famous. Cluytens went on to record the Ravel pieces for EMI in stereo (available as a 2CD import in the "Rouge et Noir" series -- see my review), but these mono performances of the Debussy works are Cluytens' only accounts, to the best of my knowledge. In all, this disc is yet another "testament" to a great reissue program.
