CD Reviews

The Inimitable Sir Thomas

Jeffrey Lipscomb | Sacramento, CA United States | 05/02/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This 1993 Capitol CD (mine is actually the earlier 1990 EMI "Beecham Collection" edition) is a desirable purchase for both lovers of Sibelius and admirers of Sir Thomas Beecham. The earliest item (1938) is the Finlandia (with the London Philharmonic). This is one of the slowest acccounts I have encountered - and one of the most magical. It's a fascinating contrast to other readings in my collection, which include Rosbaud (DG), Otterloo (Mercury LP), Silvestri (Disky), Barbirolli (EMI), and Collins (Beulah). The other contents here (recorded 1945-1955) are two suites from the incidental music to The Tempest, the Festivo Overture and two other of the Scenes historiques, and the Intermezzo & Alla Marcia from the Karelia Suite. These are all with the Royal Phil. except the Intermezzo (BBC Symphony).

The main item here is Beecham's irresistable account of the Tempest (in a peculiar order of the conductor's own choosing). The only real oddity is Beecham's breathless account of the Karelia march - the fastest I have ever heard.

An indispensable CD from one of the great Sibelius conductors."
