Lots of folks dislike Ormandy. I have a soft spot for him because his recordings of Charles Ives' music were my gateway into Ives' world. Ormandy's version of "Putnam's Camp, Redding, Connecticut" -- from Three Places in New England -- FLATTENED me when I first heard it in college. I'd never heard anything like it, and I've loved Ives' music ever since. Gotta say tho', I like Ormandy in other repertory too -- especially Russian composers like Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky. Even Prokofiev and Shostakovich. I also appreciate his Sibelius and many of his recordings by French and Spanish composers. Just my 2 cents. Now playing: Disc 2 - Music by Ravel, de Falla, and Rodrigo Quote

mikeweil Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Stunning and beautiful music excellently performed. The level of knowledge about the music of the 16th century has increased considerably in the last twenty years. Any notion that the instruments of that era were not highly developped is put ad absurdum by such recordings. Bought the two at bargain price which the label offers whenever a new release is out: http://www.encelade.net/index.php/en/hikashop-menu-for-products-listing-2/product/25828-mottetti-e-canzoni-virtuose-by-the-guild-of-the-mercenaries Quote

There are composers I approach with reservation on general principles, and that guy's one of them. For one reason - but not the only reason - he's been responsible for so many dreadful pop songs that required next to no transformation or modification. Quote

But also Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi and others are pretty commercial boys also ! Quote
JSngry Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Yeah, but they generally survive more or less unscathed. With Tchaikovsky it seems that it just gets left as is, another cloying version of a cloying melody, with changes to match. And oh yeah - now you have pop song lyrics of the same ilk. Quote
