The world's first SACD reprint of Dvorak's symphonies and other important sound sources left by Silvestri on the former EMI label. Silvestri's versatile musicality, which is unusual in that he uses three orchestras, but brings out the unique ethnic characteristics and interesting tones of each piece, is a quality that has been lost in modern times. The three symphonies in particular have wonderful expressions, and the latest high-quality sound has revived the delicate expressions.
After working in his native Romania, Constantin Silvestri (1913-69) moved to Paris in 1956 and made his debut in London the following year, where he quickly gained attention as a conductor. Around this time, he signed a contract with EMI (Pate Marconi) and recorded from the end of the monaural era to the stereo era. Even though he lived a short life of 55 years old, there are still recordings from his later years, and he is a conductor with many fans even today. Many of his performances have been described as unique, and his unique musicality is still interesting to listen to today. Among them, the first recording of "New World" (1957 monaural) received the French ADF Disc Award and attracted attention. The 1959 stereo recording recorded just two years later is Silvestri's representative record. There aren't many examples of recordings being made immediately with the same orchestra, and you can see the intentions of the record company, but it's a great performance with a straightforward expression that leaves a good impression. His conducting of No. 7, which drives the famous Vienna Philharmonic, is a masterpiece, and it feels like he is using a different approach than Solti, and it can be said to be refreshing. No. 8 is performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, which performs relatively often, and its dignified expression is more interesting than the other two. Even though the tones are different, it's an interesting situation that it's Silvestri's music, so I think you'll be able to feel the difference even more with the higher sound quality this time, including what is the charm of a conductor.
