Title: A Sad Case, to be sure
Product review: I love Alberic Magnard's symhonies, and have all 4 recordings of all 4 symphonies available--always excited to hear new nuances brought out in this composer's works.Sad to say, but Sanderling's performance and the recording here are hopelessly muddled. From start to finish, the romantic qualities and French texture are bogged down in mind boggling uninspired performances all the way around. You get the sense that Sanderling was FORCED to make this recording, and that his heart and mind weren't into it. The recording has so much reverb you can hardly make out individual parts.Avoid at all costs, and instead, go for the Michael Plasson on EMI.
