Excellent playing and production
Dutoit and the Philadelphia Orchestra hit a home run in this great recording of the Alpine Symphony. The production value is great as well as their playing. Crisp, clean, and wonderfully phrased as to be expected by the PO. All sections of this Orchestra are strong and vibrant.
I got goose bumps when I listened to this and it was 90 degrees!
This has been a signature piece for Dutoit and The Philadelphia Orchestra. He knows how to pull out all the stops and the richness and power of the Philadelphia sound is beautifully presented. I've heard this live with them and greatly looked forward to this recording.
***Wonderful Album!
This is a great Strauss recording; the Philadelphia strings impart their special warmth to the rich sonorities and compliment the wonderful brass playing...especially in the horns. I would say that this is another feather in the American cap for Alpine Symphony recordings (Pittsburgh/Janowski & Cleveland/Ashkenazy) and ranks right up there with the best of the international bands (Vienna/Previn & London/Haitink). Well done!
