Stravinsky

(Déjà Review) Buy this and sample the phenomenon that was Noel Mewton-Wood [JQ]

More pluses and some minuses with Goossens in Cincinnati [JW]

Klemperer consolidated; his full Warner legacy in best-yet transfers [JW]

Some good things, but this is only for Jansons completists [SV]

So-so Stravinsky, nervous hyper-fast Schumann and masterly Tchaikovsky [RB]

An extremely well-produced and stylish performance of The Soldier’s Tale [MC]

The admirable art of violinist Eudice Shapiro, heard in core repertory [JW]

A release pianophiles will treasure [SG]

An unusual programme, attractive, but somewhat generic performances [PBW]

Impressive Stravinsky from Klaus Mäkelä and the Orchestre de Paris [JQ]

A fine achievement all around [MP]

A disappointingly bland and flaccid Rite of Spring balanced by a far more compelling Firebird [RMo]

(Déjà Review) I don’t know whose idea this CD was, but it was a brilliant one [GPJ]

A marriage made in hell does no favours to either partner – perhaps we might hope for a divorce? [PCG]

(Déjà Review) Some of the finest, most purposeful, cello playing I’ve heard in a long time [BBr]

(Déjà Review) An unexpectedly wide range of memorable repertoire in colourful and personally characterised performances [LF]

A superb Stravinsky collection [WH]

Superb new recordings of the Stravinsky symphonies with worthwhile extras [SB]

Recommended to all collectors of great 20th century conductors [GT]

A flawlessly played, atmospherically interpreted and beautifully presented collection of Stravinsky’s three major ballets with interesting bonuses [RMo]
