Product Description:

The Don Juan is the blistering 1954 version as opposed to the well played but less inspired 1960 remake with the same performers. Fritz Reiner's earlier version sparkles with pointed and incisive section work, and richly hued yet razor-sharp tuttis. In Don Quixote, Antonio Janigro's steady, dependable portrayal of Cervantes's hero holds its own against more eloquent, imaginative soloists like Paul Tortelier and Mstislav Rostropovich. Reiner's forthright literalism, though, plays down the lighthearted, colorful scoring in the work's more descriptive, unbuttoned movements. If you're willing to shell out for multidisc sets, both Berlin and Dresden Tortelier/Kempe versions remain benchmarks. --Jed Distler
