D'Indy / Sfso / Monteux (Artist) Format: Audio CD Concertos Editorial Review

The reception of the album containing Vincent d'Indy's "Symphony on a French Mountain Air," "Symphony No. 2," and the "Fervaal Prelude" reveals a mixed customer experience. Many listeners appreciate the classical music presented on this album, notably praising the powerful interpretation by conductor Pierre Monteux, who is celebrated for his skills in handling French repertoire. His performance is seen as a highlight, demonstrating excellent musicianship that elevates the historical recordings. However, the overall response is somewhat polarized. While some fans of d'Indy cherish this album as a fine restoration of a fondly remembered work, others feel that d'Indy’s music, particularly the Second Symphony, feels overshadowed when compared to more frequently played pieces in the classical repertoire. This sentiment is echoed in comments that label d'Indy as a 'one-hit wonder,' suggesting that his works may not hold up to the more dynamic compositions of his contemporaries. Despite the admiration for Monteux's direction, there are notable technical concerns surrounding the audio quality of the recordings. While some listeners argue that the age and condition of the recordings affect their experience, particularly citing tape hiss and distortion, others are willing to overlook these flaws for the sake of appreciating the performances. It seems that for dedicated fans of d'Indy, this disc is a worthwhile listen, albeit with caveats regarding sound quality. Ultimately, the album appears to be best suited for those already familiar with d'Indy's work or classical music enthusiasts interested in diving deeper into the repertoire. **
