Many other Barges with Persons of Quality attended. A City Company's Barge was employ'd for the Musick, wherein were 50 Instruments of all sorts, who play'd all the way from Lambeth the finest Symphonies, compos'd express for this Occasion by Mr. Hendel; which his Majesty liked so well that he caus'd it to be plaid over three times in going and returning.

  • The Complete Symphonies Adagio from Tenth Symphony Edith Mathis, Norma Procter, Marjorie Thomas, Elsie Morison, Dietrich Fischer

    The Complete Symphonies Adagio from Tenth Symphony Edith Mathis, Norma Procter, Marjorie Thomas, Elsie Morison, Dietrich Fischer

    The complete symphonies Adagio from Tenth Symphony Edith Mathis, Norma Procter, Marjorie Thomas, Elsie Morison, Dietrich Fischer- Dieskau, Franz Crass, Martina Arroyo, Donald Grobe, Julia Hamari, Erna Spoorenberg, Rafael Kubelik and Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks (Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra) (Deutsche Grammophon) In many ways, Rafael Kubelik reminds me of Eduard van Beinum. For instance, both conductors revelled in Gustav Mahler's distinct idiom and both (guest) conducted the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra. But most importantly, they operated among their musicians instead of above them, had a natural aversion to a so-called superstar conductor status and served music first and foremost. These qualities pop up constantly in these beloved, often lyrical and never overwrought interpretations that have held up remarkably well in the Mahler sweepstakes. The fact that these performances have been available for such a long time is an indication of their popularity and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra plays with total conviction. Certainly the first, second, third, fourth, seventh and the adagio from the unfinished tenth in this survey match the very finest available. If you never had the chance to sample the Czech’s interpretations of his countryman, the DG Collector’s Edition is, luckily, still available. Rafael Kubelik always had a wonderful way with the Wunderhorn period. The First Symphony in particular flows like a breath of fresh air, it’s alliance with nature and young love perfectly drawn out. Kubelik’s first movement has a remarkable urgency, his funeral march is aptly ‘Jewish’. Only in the long finale, where we have become used to a cataclysm of contrasting themes, Kubelik may be surpassed (not least by the DG Bernstein performance from Amsterdam), but it’s still a strong feat of endurance.
