Description

This unique collection, newly remastered from original Philips recordings, documents the work of Dutch conductor Eduard van Beinum in Baroque and Rococo repertoire. Thanks to his celebrated recordings of Romantic composers many of them reissued on previous Eloquence releases such as Berlioz (ELQ4825569), Brahms (ELQ4429788) and Bruckner (ELQ4807068), the conductor has a solid reputation as a classically unfussy, clear-sighted guide through the formal intricacies of large-scale symphonies. His score-driven approach and highly tuned ear for orchestral colour also made him a renowned conductor of Russians such as Tchaikovsky (ELQ4804849) and Rimsky-Korsakov (ELQ482511) as well as English composers including Elgar (ELQ4804249) and Britten (ELQ4802337). In fact these virs stand him in fine stead for the Fireworks and Water Music of Handel, as some of the most extrovert large-ensemble works from the Baroque era. Eloquence has already issued Van Beinum's 1958 Philips recording of the complete Water Music with the Concertgebouw Orchestra (461 3362). This set presents a suite from the Water Music compiled and re-orchestrated by the English conductor Sir Hamilton Harty, recorded for Decca with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The conducting matches Harty's arrangement in grand style, with a warm legato string sound. Originally coupled with Mozart's 'Haffner' Symphony on the reverse side, the recordings were described in Gramophone (November 1950) 'well-disciplined and energetic readings'. The Fireworks Music, also for Decca and in Harty's arrangement, dates from two years later, in sessions with the Concertgebouw that also included the Trum Voluntary of Jeremiah Clarke. Van Beinum had a partiar way with such brief showpieces (see also the Eloquence anthology of Concertgebouw Lollipops, 482 5650); in 1956, when the 25th anniversary of his first appearance with the orchestra was celebrated, the Concertgebouw played the Trum Voluntary once more.
