Wer den großen britischen Dirigenten John Barbirolli nur aus seinen späteren, bisweilen knorrigen Aufnahmen, vor allem mit seinem Hallè-Orchester, kennt, wird von diesen erstmals komplett vorgelegten RCA- und Columbia-Einspielungen (auf 6 CDs) des Enddreißigers mit dem New York Philharmonic, das er fünf Jahre (1936-41) als Nachfolger von Arturo Toscanini leitete, überrascht sein. Zeigen sie doch durchweg einen muskulären, dabei überaus flexiblen Stil, der weniger auf minutiöse Genauigkeit, sondern eher auf poetisches Glühen abzielte. Aber dabei Klangfarbenzauber und dynamische Expressivität keineswegs vernachlässigte. Beispielhaft in der feurigen Ouvertüre zur Verkauften Braut zu hören. Aber auch in den Sinfonien Nr. 1 und 2 von Jean Sibelius, schon damals (1940) offenbar Signaturstücke des Dirigenten. Hinzuweisen ist auch auf eine dramatische Vierte von Schubert, eine tiefschürfende, dabei fließende Zweite von Brahms, agile Kollaborationen mit berühmten Solisten, wie beim Klarinettenkonzert von Mozart und der Ersten Rhapsodie von Debussy (jeweils mit Benny Goodman!) oder beim Violinkonzert Nr. 1 von Bruch mit Nathan Milstein. Unbedingt erwähnenswert – Iberia von Debussy, Francesca da Rimini und Tema con Variazioni von Tschaikowsky und die Ouvertüren zu Römischer Karneval von Berlioz oder Capriccio espagnol von Rimsky-Korsakov. Allein 17 Aufnahmen erscheinen hier erstmals auf CD.
The young John Barbirolli was hardly known in America when the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra chose him to be Arturo Toscanini’s successor starting in 1937. The 36-year-old Londoner’s first season was a triumph with both players and audiences, and although his years in New York would be increasingly marred by unfair rivalry with Toscanini – lured back to lead a specially created NBC Symphony – and by partisan hostility from two influential critics, Barbirolli’s tenure can now be looked back on as a real success. From 1938 until 1943 Sir John made a series of recordings in New York for American Columbia and RCA Victor which are still essential for a full appreciation of this revered conductor’s career, “performances that are as competitive today as they were when initially released” (Fanfare). Sony Classical is pleased to reissue them in a newly remastered six-CD set. Among the treasures here are Debussy’s Iberia and Tchaikovsky’s Francesca da Rimini and the first-ever recording of Schubert’s Fourth (“Tragic”) Symphony, together cited by Gramophone as “a demonstration that the Philharmonic-Symphony had few rivals in the world at the time as a recording orchestra … A forceful, high-powered reading [of the symphony] which yet has a Schubertian smile … The crisp attack in the Tchaikovsky, even tauter than in Barbirolli’s superb 1969 HMV New Philharmonia version, is thrillingly caught. The Debussy brings the most vivid sound of all, weighty and full of presence, with castanets and brass leaping out from the speakers. This is a white-hot performance, every bit as exciting as those of Toscanini, and with a moving vein of tenderness in the slow second movement.” There are several works by Mozart, among them the Clarinet Concerto with Benny Goodman and the Symphony No. 25 and Piano Concerto No. 27 with Robert Casadesus. The Piano Concerto’s opening Allegro “is beautifully shaped with an almost palpable sense of wonder in the music and the pianist is definitely having a ball of time,” said Classical Net. “The final Allegro is also very commendable for its grand sense of pomp and majesty … The exquisite symphony also receives wonderful attention and care from Barbirolli and the NYPSO. Here one can sense the conductor's love for Mozart’s inspired melodies … Benny Goodman is a characterful interpreter of the Clarinet Concerto.” “The generous flavor of Barbirolli’s Brahms comes through in the Academic Festival Overture and the Second Symphony,” wrote Audiophile Audition’s reviewer. “The Overture is rife with ceremonial grandeur and jolly spirits. The D major Symphony has a debonair airiness and bucolic relaxation about it.” And Sibelius’s First Symphony“ should delight fans of Barbirolli’s 1960s complete traversal of the symphonies … The conductor’s warmth, vision, and emotional urgency has lost none of its appeal in the more than half century that has passed” (Fanfare). Nathan Milstein is playing the Bruch Concerto with “the Philharmonic-Symphony in tremendous form,” exclaimed MusicWeb International’s critic. “Barbirolli opens powerfully and Milstein responds in kind; not over emoted and with vibrato perfectly scaled to the demands of the music. He is really quite withdrawn and introspective in the Adagio, powerfully so indeed, and Barbirolli brings out the horn harmonies in a way that seems to reveal them for the first time. There is romantic fervour but also passagework clarity and digital cleanliness in the finale … a model of concerto accompaniment and creative collaboration.”
