Title: Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade Capriccio Espagnol
Artist: Rimsky-Korsakov / Markevitch, Igor
Label: Eloquence Australia
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 028948293780
Genre: Classical Artists
In 1936, the English composer and writer Constant Lambert described Igor Markevitch as 'the leading figure of the Franco-Russian school'. As a composer he had been commissioned by Diaghilev and performed by the likes of Alfred Cortot and Roger Désormière, but his posthumous reputation largely rests on his prowess as a conductor, a profession he took up in the 1930s after study with Pierre Monteux. As an interpreter, Markevitch combined a volatile personality with meticulous attention to the composer's instructions, very much in the mold of Monteux. He was ideally suited in this regard to the Russian repertoire from Tchaikovsky to Stravinsky. Central both to this history and to his repertoire was the music of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov with it's sinuous melodies and ever-astonishingly original orchestral colors. Made by Philips engineers in London in October 1962, this album of the composer's best-loved orchestral works complements Markevitch's cycle of the Tchaikovsky symphonies, also recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra during the mid-1960s. They share many of the same qualities: super-charged tension, precise definition (in both performance and engineering) and refreshingly unusual articulation in repertoire that has often become stale by familiarity and lazy execution. Markevitch never made a lazy or conventional recording in his life, and he attended to the sweeping narrative of Scheherazade with the kind of detail that distinguishes his electrifying accounts of The Rite of Spring.
