'The Philadelphia sound - c´est moi!' [Eugene Ormandy]
Georg Friedrich Händel -
Concerto in d HWV 335a -
Frühfassung der Overtüre zur 'Feuerwerksmusik'
and as encore:
Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari -
Il segreto di Susanna: Overture
Philadelphia Orchestra -
Eugene Ormandy -
1977
The orchestral playing and the sound are great and Handel is turned into quite a romantic. The result is certainly musically convincing on its own terms but if I'm honest, I prefer Handel to sound like Handel and less like Leopold Stokowski! The Wolf-Ferrari is terrific - the perfect encore!
