Wonderful, celebratory collection.......2003-09-27

As many of the old Vox single CDs & boxes disappear or are reshuffled into deceptively "premium" packaging, this wonderful, celebratory collection remembers the glory years with a wide-ranging selection of great music, from the post-war mono recordings that, among other achievements, resuscitated Otto Klemperer's career & sent him on to settle some old scores, to pristine sessions from the Eighties engineered by the team of Marc Aubert & Joanna Nickrenz. Along the way there are some delightful surprises; pianists Novaes, Philipp, Haebler; Alfgren's lovely "Swedish Rhapsody" superbly played by the Baltimore Symphony as something more than a light classic; the under-rated Donald Johannos & Dallas Orchestra challenging Lenny Bernstein in 1967, the height of the Charles Ives revival, with a remarkable "Fourth of July;" Ravel's "Habanera" performed by violinist Elmar Oliveira. Included is a colorful 40 page booklet, written by frequent Vox liner note contributor, Richard Freed, outlining the Vox history with special attention to its visionary founder, George H. de Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (a collateral descendent of Felix & Fanny). My set also came with a "complete listing" insert of Vox Boxes, so many of which have been discontinued since 1995. One could only wish for a fourth CD devoted to the avant garde music Vox issued on the Turnabout & Candide labels, proudly mentioned in the booklet, but alas, tapes apparently buried in a secret vault somewhere.

Customer Reviews:

The best Swedish symphony?.......2002-12-19

The music was written at a time when Alfvén journeyed frequently in the outer archipelago off Stockholm - a series of 30,000 barren islands and rocks. The feel of the sea is never far from the music, and the music is often as sparse as the archipelago, but there is an underlying love theme which is reflected in rich chromatic and romantic textures for full orchestra. I recently went to Alfvén's house in Leksand, Sweden - now a museum - and saw a page from the score which was written with the same exquisite care with which the music was composed. For best results, listen to the Symphony without external interruption, and you will find that it grows on you with repeated listening.

En Skärgardssägen - A legend of the skerries - is an admirable piece, though Neeme Järvi's tempo is slightly too rushed in places to allow the full expansiveness the music deserves (for this, select the Stig Westerberg recording which is two minutes longer). Nevertheless, the combination of the two works inspired by the archipelago is unmissable in the library of lover of Scandinavian music. If I could take only one CD to my desert island, this would be it.
