Tannhäuser Overture Concertgebouw Orchestra Willem Mengelberg Editions Audioviseul BEULAH 2024-08-25 | This is a 1932 recording made in the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam."in the TannhäuserOverture, the unanimity of ensemble in theteeming string figurations that accompany theclosing chorale allows their fevered intensity topose a real challenge to the hymn, such thatVenus gives Wartburg more than a run for itsultimate victory. Note too at that moment ofenduring thrilling expectation when the horns riseabove the rest of the closing brass tumult,Mengelberg not only launches the initial flourishwith ringing prominence, but encourages hisplayers to sustain the counterpoint audiblythrough the whole phrase to generate even greatertension.This level of excellence was not easilyachieved. Mengelberg’s conducting scores werecopiously and scrupulously annotated, but inessence still remained templates. It is in theconsistent transformation of such closepreparation into the spontaneity of the dangerous,risk-taking performances heard in thiscompilation that the mark of his true greatness" Ian Julier in the notes for the Naxos CD release 8.110855 (Mark Obert-Thorn remaster the track for Naxos)This track has been digitally remastered by BEULAHwww.eavb.co.uk
