Editorial Reviews
Album Description
This three-CD set highlights the inimitable artistry of Dutch conductor Willem Mengelberg, who led Amsterdam's Concertgebouw Orchestra for an unprecedented 50 years (1895-1945). The repertoire features Romantic favorites and rarely heard pieces by early 20th-century Dutch composers; the highlights include a Beethoven "Eroica" Symphony from 1940 and an entire disc of Tchaikovsky in recordings ranging from 1928 to 1940. Through this set, music lovers can rediscover one of the legendary names from the Golden Age of interpretation, one whose performances were often idiosyncratic to the point of controversy but who always elicited spirited, state-of-the-art playing from the ensemble he virtually created, the Concertgebouw Orchestra. The vintage sources were painstakingly remastered at Art & Son Studios in Paris using the 24-bit CAP 440 technique. The handsomely illustrated, 84-page booklet includes an introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winner Tim Page, a thought-provoking essay by American writer Harry Haskell ("Mengelberg and the Concertgebouw Orchestra: A Virtuoso and His Instrument") and detailed artist biographies from "The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians." All texts appear in English, French and German.

Vintage Mengelberg In Superb Transfers.......2005-04-18
If you are already a Mengelberg enthusiast, this set is self-recommending. But if you are new to the Dutch conductor's uniquely exciting interpretations, this 3-disc Andante set is an ideal place to start. Lavishly packaged with perceptive notes, it contains what are probably the finest transfers these performances have ever received.
Every performance here simply exudes passion, extraordinary precision, and absolute commitment. Just listen to the bronze-like glow of the horns at the opening of the Suppe, the trenchant lower strings in the Brahms Academic Festival Overture, or the delicate filigree throughout the enchanting Dopper piece. While Mengelberg's arbitrary gearshifts in the Beethoven Eroica may raise eyebrows, the quality of the playing is beyond belief: this is arguably the best-PLAYED Eroica ever recorded. Likewise the Liszt Les Preludes, one of the greatest performances of ANYTHING I have ever heard.
I could go on and on. Suffice it to say that this superb set deserves to be in any serious classical music collection.
Highest recommendation.

Mengelberg in HIFI.......2003-01-24
Since most collectors will be familiar with these superlative performances, I will confine myself to commenting on the quality of these new transfers. They are nothing less than truly spectacular. Comparing the Academic Festival Overture on this set with the Pearl transfer, the Andante has someone more presence and bite but no less smoothness to the sound; good as the Pearl is, the Andante sounds more like a mint 78 original. The biggest difference is in the "Eroica'; the difference between the Pearl and Andante is not subtle. The Pearl is a bit constricted and somewhat deficient in clarity as compared with what I remember hearing on a Capitol-Telefunken LP; by contrast, the Andante leaps at you, with shining highs, full bass, and an aliveness that is startling. Again, it sounds more like a mint copy of an original 78. In fact, were it not for the slight background 78 hiss, this could be mistaken for an early LP recording. Along with this enhanced clarity come forth details of the performance that were not evident before. I have not heard the other items in this album, but I have no doubt that these transfers present the recordings in the best possible light. Given the lavish packaging and booklet of notes and photos, this is a perfect introduction to Mengelberg. I hope that Andante will eventually issue all of Mengelberg's recordings on Victor, Columbia and Telefunken, as well as his live performances. It seems now that Andante has taken the lead in presenting historic performances that live as much today as when they first appeared. Bravo, Andante!
