Title: Kabalevsky Sym No 1 and 2 - Naxos
Post by: guest377 on August 02, 2019, 01:47:34 am
Has anyone listened to this new recording on Naxos of the Malmo SO?
The Malmo SO has recorded quite a few CDs on BIS.

Thanks

No need to. I prefer the complete symphonies on cpo. Magnificent performances.

well mine came in the mail today from Amazon and after I gave it a listen I was impressed.
The Malmo Symphony Orchestra was impressive.  Worth the money!!

I've enjoyed the new CD. I have the CPO set plus earlier recordings on ASV and Olympia. I don't have a strong preference as I've enjoyed all these recordings (maybe the ASV less than the others). For anyone wanting to investigate these works the new Naxos would be a great place to start. Actually I prefer Symphony No.1 to the better known No.2. No.1 shows the influence of Miaskovsky, who taught Kabalevsky. I hope that these forces go on to record the underrated Symphony 4, which is my favourite of the cycle.
