Label/Cat#: BIS Records AB, Sweden BIS-SACD-1720|SACD | Year: 2010

(This is my own rip.)




If you�re looking for great SACD multi-channel sonics in this music, then this release is the way to go. Given the brilliance of Respighi�s scoring, it�s remarkable just how difficult it has been for record labels to capture this music effectively, particularly at the big climaxes. Here, finally, is a production that really does offer a close approximation of the sound of this music live, with natural perspectives, impressive dynamic range, rich bass, and plenty of presence.

Happily, the performances have plenty of musical interest as well. John Neschling doesn�t just beat time and stay out of the way. He has ideas, and they work. Consider his flexibility of tempo in the second movement of Feste Romane. This tone poem usually gets short shrift compared to the others�it�s supposed to be both the noisiest and least musically interesting, but not here. Neschling finds countless details of scoring that other versions neglect, and he conducts with love. He brings an extra measure of grandeur to the Trevi fountain climax of Fountains of Rome, and the final march in Pines is as spectacular as anyone could ask.

Through it all the S�o Paulo Symphony plays magnificently, with just as much passion and panache as Muti/Philadelphia. It�s so gratifying to hear a recording of this music that really does it justice. This release belongs right up there among the great versions of this music on disc.

Technical Note


When I first uploaded this last year, it was at 96 kHz for the SACD layer. Since then, I have learned that it is better to rip SACDs at 88.2 kHz, because that way the waveform is proportional to the original DSD signal, which results in smoother sound at the higher frequencies. I don�t know if it will make an audible difference to anyone, but especially considering that it also makes for slightly smaller .flac files, I figured it would be a good move to make, regardless.

I have also re-done the standard CD Audio layer, because I discovered a couple of minor errors in the way I had done it before (this was one of the first albums I ever posted here), and in addition, there is also a new set of scans/artwork as well, based on .pdf downloads from BIS instead of laying a paper booklet on my scanner, so there�s quite an improvement there as well.
