Conductor
Fritz ReinerAbout
Though Reiner made well-known commercial recordings of more than half the works represented here, these live readings inject an extra sense of urgency and occasion into the proceedings. The main hallmarks of Reiner’s conducting are displayed consistently throughout these CDs: a concern for precise, idiomatic articulation and phrasing in varied repertoire; attention to the different periods and styles of music; a superior ability to balance all sections of an orchestra, from the treble instruments to the bass, across a wide dynamic spectrum; a strong sense of forward momentum, vivid pacing, and textural and agogic subtlety.
Whatever one feels about individual performances on these discs, no-one could listen to them and accuse Reiner, as some glib critics have done, of being a remote or cold interpreter of great technical capacity but with no great feeling for the music performed.
