Review title: An Ilya for the Ages
Product review: Finally! An Ilya that has it all: brilliantly played, stupendously recorded, excitingly conducted. The Gliere 3rd hasn't suffered from lack of CD availability; the number of digital recordings is equalled by the number of older analog recordings. Unfortunately, except for Scherchen (C'mon Westminster!) the early ones are all heavily cut. Many of the digital ones suffer from boring conductors. But not this new one. It goes right to the top of the heap and is so good that Farberman, Downes, Talmi, even Scherchen will become dust collectors. Maestro Botstein sure records some interesting material, and I really wasn't looking forward to yet another Ilya, but I'm glad I got a copy early. Now, Telarc: How about Botstein and Tchaikovsky's Manfred?
