John BarbirolliAbout
Barbirolli’s Proms performance from 1965 is suffused with musical understanding of high quality. Note the almost complete silence of the large audience during the opening movement Nuages – testament to the compelling atmosphere Barbirolli conjures; the succeeding fleetness of touch in Fêtes is, frankly, masterly, and the concluding dynamics of the piano bars are demonstrably superb. The final movement, Sirènes, is a profoundly atmospheric conclusion – a sense of wonder that Barbirolli, his orchestra and choir, finely conjured from the notes on the printed page.
Schubert’s Symphony no.9 is given a performance of considerable insight and distinction, all the more remarkable for being ‘live’. Throughout this exceptional account, Barbirolli’s direction is always noble and grand, drawing poetry and a great beauty of sound from the orchestra. In addition there is plenty of power and punch in hand and the rhythmic drive maintained magnificently throughout.
Recorded: Royal Albert Hall, London – 20 July 1965 (Schubert) and 26 July 1965 (Debussy)
