I love Ravel, Debussy, Saint-Saëns or even Prokofiev Jean Martinon (1910-1976), only beautiful boxes readily available for this great servant of French music. Martinon, the high-style, light, square, void, but craziness, no frills. Serving (exclusive) of music. Cascavelle Here we offer a rarity: the 3rd Mahler captured in 1973 before a Parisian audience without sore throat, at the time when Mahler did not fulfill the rooms (at least in Paris) and where orchestras reluctant to simply read his scores . So? The Martinon version of the look, a noble grandeur beautiful rhythmic holding great instrumental dosage, listening to this hands partition Version teach you more about her than many more famous versions, which is an excellent point. Conclusion: no mannerism, pump, tunnels, and whatever one may read elsewhere, an orchestra of ORTF who had a real signature sound. The audience applauds at the end of the first movement: ignorance? No, probably intermission. Sensible addition to following the "Lulu" Berg (about 35 minutes). Good stereo sound. Detail: the cover chosen by Cascavelle evokes that which adorned the legendary Horenstein version of Unicorn ... Chance?
