About
The French conductor Jean Martinon also had a short-lived relationship with Decca in London before making most of his records in the US for RCA. They include deliciously light-textured accounts of Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin and Chabrier’s Suite Pastorale as well as another gramophone rarity: the farewell aria for Joan of Arc in Tchaikovsky’s opera The Maid of Orleans, sung by the Polish mezzo-soprano Eugenia Zareska.
‘[Kleiber] sets a norm, from the outset, of genuine, much-felt happiness ... immensely wide dynamic range.’ – Gramophone, December 1951 (Kleiber: Beethoven ‘Pastoral’)
‘A suavely poised yet dramatic interpretation.’ – The Times, July 1952 (Kleiber: Mozart K550)
‘[Martinon is] a conductor of rare sensibility judging by his reading of this subtle score. The playing of the London Philharmonic is absolutely first rate ... The clarity and balance of the recording is undoubtedly one of Decca’s best efforts.’ – Gramophone, April 1950 (Martinon: Ravel)
