In Reply to: Listened last night on the radio to the original (mono) Victory at Sea -- my own recording! posted by clarkjohnsen on October 12, 2006 at 09:35:57:
After the first two movements, I thought this one had a lot of promise.... (The Largo approched Szell's definitive reading.) The Third Movement was good, but struck me as "Maazelian"- Too much rhythmic detail.... It drowned out the melodic interplay. Somewhat "muscular", if you will. The final movement, aside from the secondary melody and final fanfare, was merely OK.... My biggest complaint is the 4th-Movement opening melody played with the notes cut short. A common failing in this work, in my humble opinion.It's a nice historical perspective. For an old mono master transferred to CD, the sonics were disgustingly good.
