Martinon's Ravel is the most French among the great performances April 11, 2008
Santa Fe listener
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
For decades advocates of Jean Martinon's Debussy and Ravel have lamented how little respect EMI seemed to have for his recordings, which were as often as not witheld. That omission was gradually remedied, and all of these Ravel items with the Orchestre de Paris from the Seventies have seen bargain issues already. However, here we have the whole lot in good remasterings for the cost of a single full-price CD.
Why pick Martinon in pllace of his chief copetitors, Boulez, Monteux, and Munch, great conductors all? The main reason is the sheer Frenchess of the playing -- brilliant, sharp, piquant -- since the other three conductors lead American and English orchestras. But just as important is Martinon's natural, knowing way with this music. He is less clinical than Boulez, less prone to hysteria than Munch, more alert and vivid than Monteux. One notable feature is that Martinon eschews any whiff of dated sophistication and boulevadier gloss.
It's a shame that Martinon fell into obscurity after his less than stellar tenure with the Chicago Sym., but that's no reason not to raise him as high as he deserves, principally in French music. Even if you own these familiar works several times over, Martinon is not to be missed, especially at this price.
The complete contents of the threee CDs are as follows:
Valses nobles et sentimentales
Bolero
Sheherazade - Ouverture de feerie
Rapsodie Espagnole
Ma Mere l'Oye
Le Tombeau de Couperin
Daphnis et Chloe
Pavane pour une infante defunte
Alborada del gracioso (Miroirs No. 4)
Une barque sur l'ocean
Menuet antique
La Valse
