It is one of his great achievements at NBC
This is the first CD release of this extraordinary performance, the only other release I know being on an LP in a limited-edition Toscanini Society set devoted to Cantelli. It is one of his great achievements at NBC, stronger and sonically superior to his only other account there—a 1950 performance issued in two CD sets devoted to him: Music & Arts 904, four CDs, and Testament SBT4 1306, four CDs. Not only is this Pristine disc superior to its LP predecessor, it surpasses many of NBC’s efforts in Carnegie Hall. To judge from the sound, the microphone was placed at a slightly greater than usual distance from the stage, providing a bit more “air” around the orchestra. With the exceptionally wide dynamic range of this release, this is about as realistic as Carnegie Hall recordings could be at the time, a realism that makes some of NBC’s efforts there for Toscanini seem comparatively cramped. And the performance is worthy of those efforts. Cantelli leads an account utterly free of mannerisms of any kind. Tempos are never distended, rhythm and pulse are free of distortion, and balances are gauged for maximum clarity. What it recalls (without duplicating) is the fine performance recorded for English Decca by Erich Kleiber (Testament SBT2 1352). In short, for those who care about Cantelli or the Tchaikovsky Fourth, this is a release not to be missed. Not to be ignored, the Rossini is a welcome bonus: equally well recorded, deliciously crisp, and just a tad broader than Toscanini rendered it. Certainly this release stands as another major achievement of Pristine’s Andrew Rose.
