 | | Description: | Three Decca albums of popular Romantic classics remastered complete for CD and compiled for the first time. Recorded at London's Kingsway Hall early in 1957 and first released in the US by RCA Victor, 'Overtures in Spades' was a collection of operatic openers that enjoyed more popular currency then than they do now: Suppé's Light Cavalry still features on radio playlists, less so his overtures to Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna or The Queen of Spades, while three 19th-century pieces of polished craftsmanship by Adam, Auber and Hérold are hardly known today. Reissued as 'Overture! Overture!' the album took another 12 years to be incorporated within the Decca catalogue, though the reviewers had enjoyed the dynamic Decca sound of the original recording as well as the full-bodied, exciting performances of a London studio band under the directorship of Raymond Agoult, a seasoned, Hungarian-born conductor of popular and light classics. In 1958 Agoult and the New Symphony Orchestra made a second record for RCA/Decca - 'Clair de lune', featuring gentle Andantes and tender Adagios - by the likes of Debussy, Elgar, Tchaikovsky and Massenet. Newly remastered from the original tapes, both albums are coupled on this Eloquence reissue with a rare LP of Waldteufel waltzes under the direction of another experienced, British-based session musician, the Australian-born Douglas Gamley. Waldteufel's art lay in combining the easygoing feel and nostalgic pull of the Viennese waltz with a more brilliant, French style of orchestration: a synthesis that endeared him to English audiences in particular. This collection fills out a portrait of the composer beyond the ubiquitous Skaters' Waltz to present six further waltzes and a Grenadiers march scored with surprising delicacy."Clair de Lune" on CD, performed by Agoult, Gamley, the New Symphony Orchestra of London and the National Philharmonic Orchestra, is a refined classical collection that places the famous Debussy miniature in a broader, atmospheric context. Instead of presenting a single work in isolation, this program is typically curated around impressionistic, lyrical and late-romantic orchestral pieces that share the same nocturnal, poetic mood. The focus lies on warmth of sound, singing lines and a subtly shimmering orchestral palette, making this disc ideal both for concentrated listening and for relaxed evening moments. The performances by the New Symphony Orchestra of London and the National Philharmonic Orchestra, both known for their polished ensemble culture and versatility in the recording studio, lend this release a distinctive British orchestral sound: elegant, transparent and unforced. Australian Eloquence, a label renowned for reissuing carefully chosen recordings from major catalogues, stands for high-quality remastering, detailed documentation and a collector-friendly price point. With this CD, the label once again underlines its strength in making important, sometimes overlooked recordings available in modern sound quality, preserving the character of the original sessions while enhancing clarity and presence. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
