In Reply to: RE: I love Fedoseyev! posted by Amphissa on September 20, 2016 at 02:35:46
One of the first CD's I got was Fedoseyev's performance on JVC directly from Japan - I thought it was very exciting. His Canyon performance was more restrained, but the SQ was even better I thought. Strangely enough, the Stokowski performance on Phase-4 was one that didn't appeal to me at all because of the orchestration uh. . . "touchups" - although as usual, I admire Stokowski's audacity in re-orchestrating perhaps the most notable work of a composer celebrated for his orchestration! And although the SQ is pretty restrained as Phase-4 recordings go, it's still. . . Phase-4! ;-)
As for the Glazunov Fifth, my favorite is the Sinaisky recording, which I believe originally came free with BBC Music Magazine but which later became available in its 24/96 (2-channel) incarnation via The Classical Shop and is the incarnation I have. Fedoseyev not competitive? Well, I'll listen again, but that sure wasn't my first impression.

Yes, I like this performance on LP.
I heard this conductor/orchestra perform in concert. They didn't play Sheherazade. They played Rachmaninoff's 1st Symphony. Now THAT was a performance to behold. This symphony is so rarely played in concert, the 2nd being much more familiar. And this orchestra got it right (unlike the few other live performances I've seen).
The Kogan Rach Symphony No. 1 is available on CD, but the performance does not have the spontaneity and sheer visceral drive of the live performance I attended. I seem to remember that this recording may have had a life on LP, which could have been better audio than the CD, but I've never seen it.

He had a great following in Utah while Principal Guest Conductor (assistant conductor, if you will, to a not-very-inspiring Principal in Keith Lockhart)
Lockhart and the Orchestra players new full well who the better conductor was and Anne Ewers, Utah Symphony and Opera CEO, was all about saving money as she ran both organizations (into the ground) and was in charge of finances for both.
What a huge loss!
