Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition – Stravinsky: Petrushka (1911)

Charles Mackerras
New Philharmonia & London Symphony

 

“Mackerras evokes atmosphere in every piece, with more consciously dramatic attack, more pointing of rhythm, more swagger in the playing. An admirable account with really brilliant and incisive playing-in Gnomus, for instance. The acoustic in general sounds very well and the performance is both imaginative and really well-played.”(Gramophone) (Petrushka) “qualities of confidence and finesse that mark out Mackerras’s work in the studio … he seems to have taken naturally to working at full intensity before the microphones” (Gramophone)
