Description

Cherubini's only symphony is a little masterpiece, or so thought Toscanini, who recorded it for the first time showing its freshness and intensity. But Cherubini's symphony in D minor is also full of difficulties and only a few selected conductors tried to record it. This is the only available digital recording and offers three ouvertures including the famous Medea and for the first time Ifigenia in Aulide and the unusual Le Crescendo - an exciting work that can be regarded as a Sinfonia Concertante for winds and orchestra. Donato Renzetti conducts one of the leading italian orchestras with great effervescence. This recording was produced for Frequenz some years ago, but has not been available again on the market since that time until now.

- The only digital recording available
- The first ever recording of two major ouvertures
- Excellent playing from orchestra and conductor
- Appealing repertoire
- A real bargain at this price

Classic CD (17.06.2004)


"The Orchestra della Toscana under Donato Renzetti gives sharply featured, emphatic performances with beautifully transparent realisation of the many felicitous counterpoints"
