I want to compare 2 approaches of a symphony today.
Mendelssohn's 4th.
A more 'classic' approach (The Academy), and a more 'historical' one.
Maybe a bit unfair, because Jos van Immerseel is from our neck of the woods.
To make it a bit fairer: both recordings were done in '94, if I'm not mistaken.
Stephen made me curious about the Marriner recording (high DR).
And I heard the Belgians through my Klipsch earbuds when gardening yesterday, with the first movement of this very symphony.
First to go is Sir Neville Marriner's interpretation.
This is a solid and very good sounding album.
I listened to the 3rd Symphony also.
