In Reply to: RE: How is The Lark Ascending? I've always like Bean's. Nt posted by PAR on September 29, 2016 at 06:42:59
. . . I remember when that recording was first issued in the 60's, some reviewers in the US criticized Bean for being too focused on technical perfection and not sensitive enough to the emotion! Well, I suppose it takes all kinds of listeners, but I agree with you and jdaniel that the Bean/Boult recording is magnificent.
BTW, you're right that performances of this work have become more internationalized these days, and I think a lot of the babe violinists (JJ, Lisa, J-Fi, et al.) have it in their repertoires - J-Fi even has a recording of it. I hope I won't cause a scandal by saying I prefer Bean's to hers! ;-)
Follow Ups:
Through the magic of streaming via Tidal (also available from Amazon Music and Spotify) I was able to enjoy the Boult/Bean recording last night! It is quite wonderful. It is an idiomatic performance that seems less "slick" than the more recent performances of my experience. I had most of those Boult/Vaughan Williams recordings at one time so I don't know how I missed this. Oh, well. Thanks for the recommendation.
It certainly holds up well!
Just purchased it on Amazon. $7.50 or so.
