Best of Igor Markevitch
Michael Schaffer
recorded legacy recently. In the sense that I always knew he was there
and heard some very interesting recordings from him, but somehow it
never occurred to me to investigate further until in a recent
discussion, his Schubert recordings with the BP were mentioned. I
looked it up and saw how much there is actually available from him, so
I ordered some of the discs - the DG set "un veritable artiste", EMI
GCOC, individual discs like PAAE and Rimsky-Korsakov works with the BP
and Orchestre Lamoureux, and a fantastic recording of Symphonie
fantastique with Lamoureux which for me was also a sort of rediscovery
- I have never been too fond of the piece, but Markevitch' extremely
lively and musically alert performance made me see it in a new light.
I already knew his great recording of Beethoven 5 and 8 with Lamoureux,
but even that I hadn't listened to for a long time before it was
brought back to my attention by an online discussion.
Amrkevitch combination of slender transparency with attention to
lyrical lines and fine detail makes for a lot of great listening, so
right now, I am ploughing my way through that DG box.
bzuk...@phillynews.com
for a completely satisfying version of the Consecration of the House
Overture, I finally settled on Markevitch's. It may also be in that DG
box.

I think his Stravinsky recordings should be mentioned (in a thread with this
subject line).
Specially his recordings of Sacre du Printemps.
And all his Tchaikovsky (symphonies, Manfred, some orchestral pieces).

In the interview contained in the box, Markevitch names this (Haydn) as
his favorite recording. The Interview was made in 1957 in NY and oddly,
Markevitch speaks English with a very strong French accent. I was
surprised by this because I thought he was from Russia, but then I read
that his family emigrated to Switzerland when he was only 2.
Michael Schaffer
It is, and it is a very nice recording. I dimly remeber you talked
about how the bassoons come through very well. You probably meant the
beginning of the first allegro where they are indeed very audible,
despite the trumpet and timpani action going on at the same time.
Overall, his rhythmically very alert style and the slender, clear
textures produced by the Lamoureux orchestra (and also the brilliant,
at times even rasping, but never overpowering brass) appear like a
preecho of later sonorities produced by "HIP" ensembles.
Vincent Ventrone
IMHO the recording of the Brahms Sym. #4 in the DG set is easily the best
performance of the work I've ever heard -- and would be on any "short list"
of my all-time favorite recordings. This 4th is so lyrical & yet presses
ahead with such energy that it takes my breath away every time I play it.

And if you want even more intensity, try the 1953 Symphonie fantastique
with the BPO, which burns with astonishing brightness. DG released it
not too long ago.
The Damnation of Faust, as others have mentioned, is extraordinary. A
little below that, but still very good, is the Haydn Creation, cited
above. Tchaikovsky syms. 4-6 are superb; they don't hyperventilate in
the thrilling way that, say, Svetlanov's do, but they are full of bite
and energy. He was, it seems, very successful in the studio.

Yes, born in Kiev IIRC. Apparently he spoke better French than Russian.
(The interesting story is that in the late twenties and early thirties
the young Markevitch was hailed as on of the most promising composers
(the Stravinsky of his generation), but apparently stopped composing
sometime during or shortly after the war. His music can be found on
Marco Polo.
I second about everything said elsewhere in this thread. The DG-Box is
very good, the Mozart symphonies are fantastic (I wonder if there is
more, a 41 or 40?). Another interesting disc (maybe hard to find) is on
DG Originals with Milhaud's "Choephores", Roussel and Honegger. And the
classic recordings of Stravinskys L'Histoire du Soldat is led by Markevitch.
Johannes
Edward A. Cowan
he is never actually out of sight (out of hearing?..). When I moved
about eighteen months ago, the first music I heard after setting up my
audio system included the following, cond. Markevitch:
Beethoven: Consecration of the House Overture (of course!) (DG)
Bach: Ricercar from A Musical Offering (EMI)
Quite recently, I listened to his Tchaikovsky Pathétique in Philips
426 848-2, four CD's with all six of Tchaikovsky's symphonies with
Markevitch and the LSO. These recordings date from the 1960's and, as
I discovered, there are extremely small drop-outs here and there
throughout this work, probably a sign of the recording's age. (The
performance is sensational.) There is another Pathétique in the DG set
with the BPO which I have not yet heard. Perhaps the Philips
Tchaikovsky symphonies have been reissued more recently in a pair of
two-fers? Perhaps with the drop-outs corrected? --E.A.C.

Nos 4, 5 and 6 are up there with the best imo, but think that Jansons wins
the prize for the best 1st (Winter Daydreams) that I have heard.
Markevitch has recorded several Rites which are easily among the best, a
superb Symphony of Psalms, a very lucid and beautifully controlled Apollo,
and his Carmen and L'Arlesienne suites sparkle nicely too (with a Lamoureaux
orchestra).
Basically he knew Stravinsky's music backwards, and I have a Philips twofer
labelled Igor Markevitch, "The Early Years", which contains the Apollon
musagete, Symphony of Psalms, and other bits of Stravinsky, and an excellent
L'histoire du Soldat with Cocteau, Ustinov, Andre and Parikian. Ustinov,
with his impeccable knowledge of about one zillion languages, always makes
me laugh in this performance of L'histoire, playing The Devil. Ustinov is
just incredibly ... cannot find the word ... but 'twee' would be close.

I agree about the Haydn. His Haydn symphonies (along with the Beethoven
6 and overtures, his Brahms 1 and 4, and the Schubert already mentioned
here) are what convinced me Markevitch was a top conductor. I guess I
already took his Berlioz and Stravinsky for granted by then.
And of course any appreciation of Markevitch's conducting is augmented
by an appreciation for his wonderful music, but I assume the original
poster has already investigated that. The series on Marco Polo is
excellent, with some interesting supplements on Cascavelle, Largo, and
the NYPO's Bernstein box, of course. He was an interesting and fresh
composer.
--Jeff
Michael Schaffer
I haven't heard any of Markevitch' compositions. Until recently, I
didn't even know he also composed. I see the recordings on Marco Polo,
conducted by a gentlemen named Lyndon-Gee with the Arnhem Philharmonic
("an orchestra too far"). Which pieces are the most interesting?
Michael Schaffer
This is really a great recording. I listened to it today. It for me
also has the interest of being played by the Orchestre Lamoureux since
I am interested in orchestras playing music outside their traditional
repertoire. It is interesting to hear the slender woodwind (especially
the wonderfully snarly French bassons) and the bright brass, a very
different sound world from the WP, for instance.
Michael Schaffer
There is also a Tragic Overture with the USSR SO in the box. Apparently
originally Philips recordings. Strange how they recording quality of
these items (which are among the latest in the box, from 1963) suddenly
drops and becomes more markedly more muffled and unsteady than the
other stereo items which sound very good for their age - almost as if
recordings in the USSR automatically sound worse than the contemporary
ones made in the West. Maybe this has something to do with the
geographical position, or cosmic influences...
Generally, the sound quality in the DG box is quite good, and it is
interesting to see the sudden very drastic leap in recording quality
between 1957 and 58 when DG went to stereo.
Michael Schaffer
There is a copy on amazon.com, for $114...uh...
But I am going to Berlin next week, so I will snoop around a few record

Michael Schaffer
There is a Testament disc which has two different recordings of Le
Sacre on one disc (!), and an EMI 2-disc set with Stravinsky and
Prokofieff (or Prokofiev) which looks very interesting.

I'd say "L'Envol d'Icare" is essential, but if you read the review on
Amazon.com you will get a sobering assessment of the Arnhem
Orchestra...something to the effect that they are so incapable and
nervous that the poor conductor gets through the whole thing by
muttering "Hail Mary, full of Grace!" over and over to himself.
Ok, I think that's an exaggeration. The recording must be heard, but do
consider supplementing it with the two-piano-and-percussion version on
Largo, which is quite interesting unto its own. The piece is worth two
versions, and the fillers are different anyway. Bernstein's NYP
performance of the orchestral version (the later, tamer version, I
believe, but I get confused) is also worth hearing, but not worth
spending the $150 it takes to get it, if that's your only interest in
the box set.
I liked "Rebus" very much--it's got a lot of early Prokofiev and of
course Stravinsky in it as well, as does the discmate. And for a change
of pace, the Sinfonietta (a very early work) has some charm. But there
you have three of the Marco Polo volumes recommended, so perhaps I'm
just saying that each disc has its own value, and even if the music is
no longer shocking today, it still is compelling, even if not
ultimately at the "masterpiece" level, whatever that is.
I also have a disc on Pavane with several of Markevitch's piano pieces,
and unfortunately I don't remember a thing about it. It's been a while.
On Cascavelle you get a chance to hear Markevitch conducting his own
music ("Psaume") and that's a no-brainer: a must hear, except that it's
shakled with yet another of his "Rite of Spring" performances, which
grow on trees these days. Anyway, that should not inhibit you when you
feel like springing for the disc.

It's possible that the Soviet recording was made by a Soviet crew, and
they supposedly had a hodge-podge of microphones, which would of course

The sound is in good stereo. Dry, detailed. Comparable to his recordings of
the symphonies with the same orchestra. Manfred seems to sound a little dryer

As longtime contributors to this newsgroup will agree, I took a long time

I believe the "Creation" was recorded a bit earlier (ca. 1952 or '54) as
it is still mono. I know that DG recorded mono still in '57, but I think
read the recording date in some discography.
Johannes
Michael Schaffer
Ineed, all the recordings up to 1957 are mono - and the difference in
sound quality when they went stereo is *drastic*. The mono recordings
are still listenable, though.
Edward A. Cowan
Beethoven's five piano concerti played by Wilhelm Kempff with the BPO,
cond. Paul van Kempen. (This is currently in: "Wilhelm Kempff: The
complete 1950's concerto recordings," DG Original Masters 474 024-2.)
The depth of color, the audio range, and the breadth of dynamic range
all contribute to making these recordings remarkable achievements in
the history of recordings of classical music. They date from 1953. (I
listened to no.1 last night.)
Worth recalling, btw., are the Mercury recordings of the Chicago SO,
cond. Rafael Kubilik. These are so well-recorded, though mono, that one
could be fooled into thinking they were in stereo. --E.A.C.

Yes, it's a Franco-Russian thing, which also explains his sensational

I've ever heard and I've just about heard 'em all. Markevitch comes
closer here to capturing the Berlioz "fire and ice" than almost anybody
else anywhere ever, by which I mean that he instinctively and
unfailingly supplies both the fairly crisp and strict framework Berlioz
demands and the febrile nervousness and volcanic expressivity at the
core of his music.

Yes, it's a vast improvement over the stereo recording with the
Lamoureux, which is uncharacteristically dull and fussy and quite
unlike Markevitch's other recorded Berlioz.

The Swiss conductor Oleg Caetani is in fact the son of Igor Markevich. He chose to use his mother's maiden name to avoid odious comparisons.

the pile I intend to transfer someday if I ever get around
to setting up the equipment I bought and figure out how to
do it. I think I have around 30 LPs like that. I bought a
new/old Shure 91ED cartridge for my Pioneer PL12-D and
there's a hum that I didn't have before. I have to figure
that out first. There arent enough hours in the day.

Review: A Cheap Markevitch Box
gggg gggg
- . (The silken Festivo and Universo vinyl pressings, or the rarer 1963 original, are a reminder of how much we lost when digital technology rudely “superseded” analog recordmaking and Dutch-process vinyl.)
- I picked up the record from Goodwill last week for $2 in absolutely near mint condition. Listened to it twice over the weekend and am in rapture with this recording. The mastering on the record is superb and very much stage forward. I don't have an audiophile-rated turntable or stereo but it is among the best classical records I have purchased. It is not a heavy (think Bach or Beethoven) piece, but most delightful to relax and enjoy. I smiled alot during the listenings. Highly recommended to the collector or someone who wants an excellent recording of R-K.

My favorite Markevitch recording is his 1959 recording of Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring with the Philharmonia Orchestra. Markevitch was a master of Stravinsky's music, and he brings out all of the drama and intensity of The Rite of Spring in this recording. The Philharmonia Orchestra plays with great passion and commitment, and the recording quality is excellent.
Here are some other Markevitch recordings that I recommend:
Igor Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms (1958)
Igor Stravinsky: The Firebird (1959)
Igor Stravinsky: Petrushka (1960)
Sergei Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet (1957)
Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5 (1956)
Markevitch was a versatile conductor, and he recorded a wide range of music. His recordings are known for their energy, precision, and musicality. If you are looking for recordings of classical music that are both exciting and musically satisfying, I highly recommend checking out Markevitch's recordings.

- This is, quite simply, one of the best-played and recorded accounts of Scheherazade ever made...
