Richard Wagner Symphony in C Mov. I (1/2)by ninetta20913,682 views
At first I was biased to the woodwinds' defense. I felt it possible their performance was lacking more because of original recording errors. I felt this might be reasonable in that the winds section is uniformly quiet, almost as if they are simply too far from recording pick up devices as an entire section. Then, after listening again to the aggressive dynamics Coates pulls through from all other sections, and the intense tempo variations, I began to see your point. Winds are insipid.

This performance is all the more remarkable in that the LSO was fighting for survival at the time; plans involving Beecham and Sargent for the orchestra's reconstruction had collapsed, and it was in the process of losing several valuable contracts to the newly-founded LPO. Certainly one can hear weaknesses in the winds (especially the oboes); but Coates, for all his faults (reckless tempi and, sometimes, crude phrasing), had a dynamism that could have roused the dead.

Hello
Coates is not so much underrated as he is unremembered. During his lifetime he was considered one of the premier English Wagner interpreters of his day. He was HMV's "goto" conductor (with Leo Blech) when significant Ring excerpts were waxed in the late 20's. He also recorded many Wagner sides in the acoustic era as well.
I think the lack of reissues is more a function Coates' fame peaking in England before the recording industry had matured enough to secure his legacy.

More proof that Coates is underrated in Wagner.

Excellent transfer. Remarkable sound, especially in the alto and soprano instruments, for an early electric recording.
