Shaky technically, but a good budget colleciton.......2005-09-04

I don't admire Jarvi as a conductor, so it surprised me that I mostly enjoyed this colleciton of somewhat ragged but spirited performances. The Oedipus Rex in particular woke me up in spots, and all the other performances showed dramatic interest. The orchestra isns't up to a good American orchestra like cincinnati or Pittsburgh, but you can sitll hear an echo of its glory days under Ansermet--it wasn't very good technically then, either, but there was a heap of style to make up for that.
